Finance

At Aston Martin, our Finance team is more than a support function - we're a strategic partner, working hand-in-hand with every department to deliver excellence. From evaluating complex decisions to shaping future investments, Finance is at the heart of how we create value across the business.



Our Vehicle Life Cycle (VLC) team plays a critical role in driving financial performance across the entire product lifecycle - from design and engineering through to launch readiness and manufacturing. We're now seeking a confident and capable Finance Analyst to join this high-impact team.





The Opportunity



As a Finance Analyst in VLC, you'll be deeply embedded within cross-functional programme teams, working closely with Product Planning, Engineering, Programme Management, Procurement, Sales & Marketing, and Manufacturing.



Your mission? To control and support investment and cost performance across major vehicle programmes, directly linked to the wider company business plan. From day one, you'll be hands-on in managing business cases, influencing decisions, and ensuring programmes deliver both operational excellence and financial return.



This is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to some of Aston Martin's most iconic and innovative products.





Key Responsibilities


Drive cost control across vehicle programmes, including but not limited to, material, investment, and resource. Support the development and maintenance of business plans and financial forecasts. Own and manage project financials - from spend requests, bill of material reconciliation and ongoing forecasts. Prepare and review monthly management reporting across resource, profitability and CAPEX. Partner with senior stakeholders to present financial insights and support strategic decision-making. Represent Finance within cross-functional teams, challenging where necessary to improve efficiency and meet CAPEX targets. Contribute to carline profitability modelling and scenario planning. Act as a delegate for senior analysts/managers when required.




What You'll Need



We're looking for someone with a strong foundation in finance, ideally degree-educated with a minimum 2:1 in a relevant field such as Finance or Accounting. You should be part-qualified in CIMA or ACCA, or able to demonstrate equivalent capability through experience. A solid grasp of core accounting principles -- including accruals, prepayments and journal processes -- is essential, as is a confident, hands-on approach to working with data and reporting.



To thrive in this role, experience within a product creation or programme-based finance environment is preferred, where you've worked closely with non-finance stakeholders to influence decisions and manage cost control. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are vital, as you'll regularly collaborate with engineering, procurement, and project teams. Familiarity with ERP systems, as well as proficiency in Excel, will support your success.



Experience within the automotive sector, especially in high-performance or manufacturing settings, would be beneficial, along with a good understanding of vehicle development lifecycles and cost structures. Above all, we're looking for someone proactive, commercially minded, and ready to take ownership in a fast-paced, high-visibility role.





Why Aston Martin?



At Aston Martin, you'll work in a dynamic and collaborative environment where your contributions directly shape the future of our iconic brand. Our size means you're more than just a number - you'll have real visibility, real influence, and real variety in your work.



This is a chance to see the bigger picture, engage with every part of the programme, and be part of a passionate team bringing world-class vehicles to life.
