What are we looking for?

We are looking to recruit a driven Finance professional who is looking to evolve and develop their skills as a Finance Business Partner. You will be qualified but we are open to the background in which you are coming from whether that be industry or practice. What is important is that you are excited to join a project based organisation. Our environment is manufacturing and you will be involved in all aspects of accounting, bids and working very closely with our stakeholders as their 'critical friend' supporting them with their numbers whilst also manging budgets, reports and forecasts.

As a lot of our business work onsite we see this role needing to be based in Cambridge somewhere between 1 and 3 days a week.

Key tasks in this role include:

  • Responsibility for all financial aspects of the allocated project; ensuring effective budgeting, forecasting and tracking of the Estimate Cost to Complete (ETC), management and reporting for the project, including consolidation into business unit results on a monthly basis
  • Assisting on pricing review and costing for new bids
  • Business partnering, providing finance leadership, governance, advice and information to support Project Managers (PMs) and Programme Director (PD)
  • Provide finance support and actively participate in performance reviews of the project, providing insight and information as required
  • Supporting the Project and Senior Leadership Teams in spend decisions and understanding financial risk
  • Responsibility for balance sheet reconciliations for allocated project(s), driving continuous improvement in month-end reporting disciplines
  • Promoting and operating a comprehensive control environment
  • Awareness and active management of foreign exchange risk.

What will you get in return?

Firstly you will join a positive and supportive finance team with a great team spirt that all get involved in helping each other. We can see this role having a great career track and developing into a more senior role as time goes on. You will also have the opportunity to get involved in new and innovative projects that may also support our Global business. You will have access and work closely with our Senior Leadership Team and have the ability to influence the business as well as looking for opportunities for continuous improvements.

The personal traits and qualifications we are looking for are:

  • Qualified ACA, ACCA, CIMA
  • Strong technical ability and post-qualification experience, with proven experience in the area of long-term contract accounting
  • Exceptional data manipulation and Excel skills, with a high level of attention to detail and ability to keep track of and forecast cost; Desire to drive continuous improvement into existing processes
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, clear and concise thought processes and the ability to lead others to a conclusion
  • Preparation of high-quality financial analysis and reports for key internal stakeholders
  • Self-motivation and proactive approach to work, as this role requires a high degree of autonomy and independent thought to identify and creatively solve problems
  • Working and engaging with non-finance colleagues and managing differing interests
