Financial Data Analyst

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.

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.
