Financial Controller – Manufacturing | Renewable Supply Chain
Sheffield | Site leadership role | High impact | Commercial focus
Opportunities of this quality in the South Yorkshire market are rare.
We are working closely with a globally recognised manufacturing business operating at the centre of the renewable energy supply chain. The Sheffield site is a well established, sizeable operation with strong international backing offering both scale and momentum.
This is a business we know well. We have partnered with them previously and have seen first hand how the leadership team has evolved building a culture that is both ambitious and grounded. In our view, this is one of the standout destination employers in the region for Financial Controllers: a place where you are trusted, listened to, and able to genuinely shape outcomes.
You will work directly with an impressive Managing Director and a highly regarded group function in a role that offers visibility, autonomy and real influence from day one.
This is a position for someone who wants to take ownership, not just reporting numbers but driving performance, challenging thinking, and helping lead the site forward.
The role
• Full ownership of financial performance for the site
• Partnering with operations to improve margin, cost control, and efficiency
• Leading budgeting, forecasting, and ongoing planning cycles
• Translating data into clear, commercially relevant insight
• Managing and developing a small finance team
• Acting as the key link between site and group finance
The person
• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA)
• Experience within a manufacturing environment
• Strong grounding in management accounting and performance analysis
• Commercially minded, with the confidence to influence and challenge
• Credible communicator, able to operate effectively with senior stakeholders
• Leadership capability, either proven or ready to step into a broader role
This opportunity will suit individuals stepping into their first own the site role as well as established Financial Controllers looking for greater impact, exposure, and the chance to work with a high calibre leadership team.
