Finance Director
Location: Nottinghamshire
Salary: £80,000 – £100,000 Car Benefits

If you’re a Finance Director who enjoys getting under the skin of a business, driving real operational change and leading from the front, this opportunity offers exactly that.

You’ll join a well-backed, growing manufacturing group near Mansfield, operating across multiple divisions including industrial and international markets. With a turnover of around £30m and ambitious plans for continued growth, this is a business investing in its people, systems and future, and finance sits firmly at the centre of it.

Working closely with an engaged Managing Director and shareholders with a strong financial background, you’ll take control of the core finance function, bringing pace, clarity and leadership where it’s most needed. This is a visible, hands-on role where you can make an immediate impact, improving reporting, shaping a capable team and helping to steer performance at a strategic level.

The Opportunity

As Finance Director, you will take full ownership of the finance function and play a key role in strengthening and modernising financial management across the group. You will:

• Deliver accurate, timely management accounts, forecasts and margin analysis to the MD and shareholders.
• Restructure, manage and develop a five-person finance team, building capability and accountability.
• Manage cash flow, controls and compliance in line with shareholder expectations.
• Provide clear, commercial insight that supports operational and strategic decision-making.
• Focus on what truly matters, ensuring key financial deliverables are met and that finance drives business performance, not just reports on it.

This is an opportunity for a Finance Director who wants to take ownership of a capable team, bring focus and discipline to the finance function, and help drive performance across a growing, multi-division business.

About You

• Fully qualified CIMA, ACA or ACCA.
• Proven experience at Finance Director or senior leadership level within manufacturing or a closely related industrial environment.
• Track record of leading finance in an SME setting, ideally involving multi-entity or international operations.
• Confident in delivering timely management information and ensuring robust financial control.
• Experienced in team leadership, with the confidence to restructure and develop capability where needed.
• Hands-on, commercially sharp and focused on the big picture rather than getting lost in the detail.

What’s on Offer

• £80,000 – £100,000 salary depending on experience.
• Company car and additional benefits.
• A visible, influential role within a forward-thinking manufacturing group.
• On-site position near Mansfield, with flexibility for occasional remote work.
