Financial Data Analyst - Manufacturing and Production Sector

I'm working on behalf of a well‑established manufacturing business that is looking for a Financial Data Analyst to join their team. This is an exclusive role, so you won't see it advertised elsewhere.


What you’ll be doing

This isn’t your typical number‑crunching role. You’ll be right in the middle of the business, working closely with department heads and senior leadership to deliver financial insights that actually shape decisions. Think strategic planning, forecasting, profitability analysis, and building the kind of dashboards and reports that people actually use.

You'll be managing the full financial reporting cycle, leading variance analysis across business units, and digging into the detail on costs, margins, and pricing. There’s also a strong project element here, so if you enjoy leading initiatives and improving processes, you’ll get plenty of opportunity to do that.


What you’ll need as a Financial Data Analyst

  • 3‑5 years in a finance, data or reporting‑focused role
  • Strong SAP knowledge (FI/CO modules and Analysis for Office a benefit)
  • Advanced Excel
  • Knowledge of Power BI, Power Query, Power Pivot and DAX
  • Desirable: Power Automate and ideally Power Apps and SQL experience
  • Solid analytical skills and the ability to present complex data in a clear, actionable way
  • Experience working with stakeholders at all levels
  • Comfortable managing multiple priorities, meeting deadlines, and occasionally travelling as part of the role

What’s on offer

  • Salary of £52,000 – £60,000
  • Annual bonus
  • Annual salary review
  • Private medical cover
  • Life insurance
  • 35‑hour working week with core hours
  • Hybrid working (2‑3 days in the office, 2‑3 days from home)
