The Finance Business Partner will provide financial analysis, lead budgeting and forecasting, support operations, and engage with stakeholders to enhance profitability and efficiency.
We’re hiring a Finance Business Partner who can bridge the gap between numbers and business performance. In this hands-on role, you’ll work closely with our commercial and operational teams, providing insight, challenge, and guidance to drive profitability and efficiency across the business.
This isn’t a traditional finance role. We’re looking for a commercially minded professional who can act as a true business partner—someone who can turn financial data into clear insights.
This role will be based at our Rainham Essex plant 3 days per week with option to work 2 days from home!

- Produce and present monthly management reports with clear insights and commentary on key variances
- Drive process improvements, leveraging ERP systems and data analysis to enhance accuracy and efficiency
- Evaluate and support major tenders, contracts, and capital projects, ensuring sound financial decisions align with business objectives
- Build strong relationships across departments and influence stakeholders to embed financial discipline and commercial awareness throughout the business
Candidate profile
- Fully or part-qualified accountant (CIMA, ACCA, ACA, or equivalent) with experience in manufacturing, waste, or process-driven industries
- Strong skills in product costing, financial modelling, budgeting, and performance reporting
- A commercial mindset and the ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights
- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with confidence influencing at all levels
- Advanced Excel and ERP system proficiency, with a proven track record of improving processes through technology and analysis
- Collaborative, proactive, and adaptable with a hands-on approach and a drive to make an impact
- Valid driving licence and willingness to travel as needed

- Strategic Role: The opportunity to take on a high-impact position with real influence over business performance and strategy
- Career Growth: Ongoing development and progression opportunities within a growing, global organisation
