We are working with an established and growing specialist engineering & manufacturing business based near Oxford/Bicester that is now looking to appoint a commercially minded Finance Director as part of the next stage of its growth.

This is not a traditional “keep the numbers ticking over” FD role.

The FD jobs opportunity is to come in and help change that.

The Finance Director jobs role overview

Reporting directly to the MD, you will become a key member of the senior leadership team/board of directors .

The immediate priority is to modernise and strengthen the finance function, but the FD jobs role goes considerably wider than finance.

There is a genuine opportunity to influence:

* Finance strategy and commercial decision-making

* Digital transformation and systems

* Finance processes, controls and reporting

* Business-wide process improvement

* Management information and visibility of performance

* Margin improvement and profitability

* Leadership team development

* Future growth strategy

The current finance function has good underlying fundamentals but is relatively traditional, creating a good opportunity for the incoming FD to build, improve and modernise.
