| Description: | Financial Controller Telford Hybrid Working Up to £80,000 Car/£14k Allowance Bonus Excellent Benefits Take ownership. Influence strategy. Shape the future. Sheridan Maine has been exclusively retained to appoint a Financial Controller for a successful UK manufacturing business that forms part of an established international group. While benefiting from global backing, the UK operation enjoys significant autonomy, creating an environment where finance has a genuine voice in commercial decision-making. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you'll become the senior finance leader for the UK business, partnering with colleagues across operations, sales and manufacturing to drive performance while ensuring the business continues to operate with robust financial governance. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious finance professional looking to combine their commercial exposure with their technical expertise in one critical role. What You'll Be Doing No two days are quite the same in this broad leadership role. Alongside leading the finance function, you'll work closely with senior stakeholders to provide insight that supports investment decisions, operational improvements and profitable growth. Your responsibilities will include:
What We're Looking For You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with experience gained within a manufacturing environment and a track record of delivering both technical excellence and commercial support. Equally important is your ability to build relationships across the business, communicate confidently with senior stakeholders and adapt your approach depending on the situation. We're interested in speaking with individuals who are equally comfortable presenting to a Board meeting as they are reviewing costing variances or helping improve day-to-day finance processes. This opportunity would suit an established Financial Controller or an experienced Finance Manager seeking their first Number One finance role. Why This Role? This position offers something that many finance opportunities cannot - a genuine combination of strategic influence and operational involvement. You'll have direct access to senior decision-makers, significant autonomy within the UK business and the support of an international parent company, giving you the opportunity to make a visible impact while developing the experience needed for future executive leadership. Package In return, the business offers:
Applicants must have the unrestricted right to work full-time in the UK. Due to the volume of applications received, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. If you have not heard from us within five working days, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. | |
