You will take ownership of the month-end reporting process, ensuring financial results are delivered accurately, on time, and in line with group reporting standards. You will also be responsible for maintaining the integrity of financial data, ensuring costs are correctly allocated across cost centres and materials to provide a reliable view of business performance.
You will partner closely with the Plant Controller and Operations teams to support the budgeting and forecasting process. By gathering operational inputs, challenging assumptions, and analysing trends, you will help build accurate forecasts and identify potential risks, opportunities, and cost-saving initiatives. Your insights will contribute to better decision-making and improved financial visibility across the site.
You will support the management and maintenance of material standard costs, ensuring costing data remains accurate and reflects operational realities. Through detailed analysis of manufacturing and overhead costs, you will help assess product, brand, and SKU profitability, providing recommendations that support business performance and continuous improvement.
A key part of your role will be working collaboratively with plant operations teams to strengthen financial awareness and drive best practices in cost management. You will monitor operational and financial KPIs, analyse variances, and translate complex data into meaningful insights that can be used to improve efficiency and support strategic objectives.
You will also act as a trusted business partner to both Finance and Operations stakeholders, helping to bridge the gap between operational activity and financial performance. By providing clear analysis, practical recommendations, and ongoing support, you will contribute to a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence across the plant.
