The multi-award winning, international company has been leading its niche market for well over a century and has a reputation of excellence, both in product development and innovation but most notably in customer service and relationships. From a layman's perspective, it appears to be a high-tech manufacturer and service provider, but when you scratch the surface, you will uncover a fascinating and complex operation that offers an unparalleled delivery to a vast array of customers. Following a Private Equity supported MBO, the business is entering a new and terrifically exciting phase. A program to continuously improve and to provide a "best in class" service to the operational business has initiated this requirement for an exceptional individual. The CFO, an inspirational and very accomplished leader, is looking for an intelligent, adaptable and resourceful candidate with excellent academics. You will be able to prove a swift and progressive path through your career to date and be looking for a challenging and sometimes demanding opportunity that will offer excellent career development and visibility to the Senior Leadership. Reporting to the CFO, this key role within the finance function will include the delivery of a structured and effective forecasting programme, backed by in depth commercial analysis that will offer decision support to the front-line operational business itself. Strategic planning and acquisitions and the subsequent analysis and integration thereof will also constitute parts of the role. You will be working with the finance team and wider business to provide strategic, financial and operational feedback to understand how the business is performing. Candidates will be fully qualified and hold a proven track record of achievement and be able to demonstrate close interaction with the business in a true partnership context. You will have outstanding analysis and communication skills with the ability to eloquently present financial information. You should be commercially minded and passionate about using financials to drive the business with an eye for detail whilst understanding and appreciating the bigger picture. You will seek to provide new perspectives on data to drive good decision-making processes. What is a prerequisite however, is your attitude and aptitude in taking a proactive and autonomous approach to your work and the desire to have a tangible impact on the business itself. Your commitment to delivery, coupled with a focussed desire to succeed within a demanding, exciting growth business, will provide an enviable platform for the progression and development of your career.
