Job Description

Senior Finance Business Partner - FP&A
75,000-80,000 + benefits
Office based: Loughborough
This is a great opportunity to join a growing technology-led manufacturing business that's scaling, building world-class products and modernising how finance supports the operation.
The business has doubled revenue in the last two years and is on an ambitious growth path, with significant investment backing and a strong order book. The finance team is evolving to match that pace, and this role will play a big part in shaping how financial data, systems and decision-making work together across the business.
The Role
You'll own the forecasting, modelling and analysis that drives commercial and operational decisions.
Partnering with engineering, manufacturing and commercial teams, you'll bring clarity and control to complex cost structures and make finance a trusted voice in day-to-day decision making.
You'll also take the lead on:

• Creating one version of the truth across departments by modernising Excel-based models into something automated, accurate and insightful.
• Bringing rigour to forecasting across product, project and grant revenue streams.
• Coaching and developing two capable finance team members who are hungry to learn.
• Working with operations and commercial leaders to improve pricing, costing and profitability.
• Driving system improvements through IFS and other ERP tools to reduce manual reporting.
• This isn't a role for someone who just wants to maintain a process, it's for someone who wants to transform how finance operates in a modern engineering business.

About You
You'll be a qualified accountant (CIMA / ACA / ACCA) with experience in a manufacturing or engineering environment and a real passion for data, modelling and systems.
You'll bring:
Hands-on FP&A experience with forecasting, budgeting and performance analysis.
Strong understanding of standard costing, stock valuation and margin analysis. The confidence to partner with commercial and operations teams, influencing key decisions. Curiosity and drive to improve how things are done, someone who spots problems and fixes them. Leadership skills to guide and mentor a small but capable finance team.
You might be an FP&A Manager or Senior Business Partner ready to step up, or already leading a small finance team and looking for a fresh challenge in an innovative, fast-moving environment.
Why it's worth a look
This is a rare blend of hands-on FP&A, business partnering, and finance transformation work in a business that's growing, investing in tech, and ready to modernise.
If you've ever wanted to take ownership, simplify systems, and make finance the heartbeat of decision-making, this is that chance.
