Job Description:
Your new company
Your new company is one of the global leaders in generic pharmaceutical manufacturing, production, R&D and distribution for both human and animal health. Exporting to over 80 countries worldwide and employing more than 700 employees in sites across the world, the company is embarking on an exponential growth and upscaling phase which will undoubtedly lead to huge internal opportunities. The company is renowned for their commitment to working to the highest ethical and regulatory standards and have also made huge advances in terms of their internal working culture, becoming one of the best places to work for professionals in manufacturing across the Western region.
Your new role
You will join the company at Finance Manager level, leading a team of 2 junior accountants and reporting directly to the Group Financial Controller. This is a very senior position within the group and you will have full oversight over all cost and management accounting procedures and processes across the manufacturing sites. In addition to team leadership and mentorship in the role, you will also lead process improvement initiatives and efficiency projects, set enhanced KPIs in relation to cost management and inventory control, monitor and review drivers of costs, product costing, labour and overhead rates and standardised costing models. This role is varied and allows for some autonomy for an experienced candidate.
What you'll need to succeed
You will need to be a fully qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA/CPA) with over 5 years post-qualified experience in a manufacturing or cost-related role. You must demonstrate a deep knowledge and passion for cost accounting and also demonstrate examples of leading efficiency improvement projects and process im improvements. A deeply analytical mind, a strong initiative and a collaborative, solutions-first approach to problems are all essential in this role. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, as well as great attention to detail are required for this role. People management experience is preferred but not essential as the role is open to candidates who may not have held a senior management role before.
What you'll get in return
You will get a competitive market salary along with a comprehensive list of benefits including hybrid working (2-3 days per week on-site), full healthcare, a generous pension contribution, gym membership, annual leave up to 28 days and access to a tremendous working culture. The company are also embarking on a huge upscaling and expansion phase after receiving external investment and this will lead to increased opportunities for those inside the company.
