Ashley Kate HR & Finance are proud to be partnering with a manufacturer on the outskirts of Leeds to recruit a Finance Manager.

This is a newly created opportunity offering full ownership of site finance, where you''ll play a key role in driving performance and supporting decision-making in a fast-paced FMCG environment. It''s a hands-on, operational role, not just reporting, with real visibility across the site.

Working closely with the Site Director and wider leadership team, you''ll take responsibility for the site P&L, providing clear insight and constructive challenge to improve profitability and efficiency. You''ll be a true business partner across operations, supply chain, and procurement, developing a strong understanding of the key drivers behind performance.

Key responsibilities include:

• Full ownership of site P&L and financial performance
• Partnering with senior stakeholders to influence decision-making
• Delivering clear, commercially focused reporting and insight
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and planning processes
• Monitoring costs, labour, and overheads to drive control and efficiency
• Identifying risks, opportunities, and continuous improvement initiatives

We''re looking for a commercially minded finance professional with experience in FMCG or manufacturing. You''ll be comfortable working closely with operational teams, able to challenge where needed, and confident turning financial data into meaningful actions. Experience owning or contributing to a site P&L is important, and a hands-on approach is key.

In return, you''ll receive a competitive salary, bonus, and a strong benefits package, along with the opportunity to shape a role and make a visible impact within the business.
