Finance Director - Manufacturing & Consumer Goods

Salary: £90,000 - £120,000 + Equity

Hybrid/Wakefield

Permanent, Full Time

A defining career chapter where you build, shape, and lead what's next. Some roles keep the wheels turning. This one builds the machine for the next stage. A high-growth manufacturing and consumer-led business is at a pivotal point. New products have launched. Retail partnerships are thriving. Investment in technology and operational efficiency is underway. And with three acquisitions in the pipeline (and more to follow), the stage is set for serious growth. Now they're looking for a Finance Director who doesn't just want to run finance - but rebuild, reshape, and redefine it. This is a role for the leader who loves both challenge and creation. You'll join a business that's profitable, ambitious, and preparing for its next evolution - a company ready to double in size and ultimately deliver a major value event. You'll be given full trust and autonomy to:

• Strengthen the foundations - sharpen systems, reporting, and controls to match the company's ambition.
• Shape strategy - partner with a driven, entrepreneurial MD to drive growth, efficiency, and commercial insight.
• Lead transformation - implement processes, structure, and rigour that prepare the business for its next chapter.
• Guide acquisitions - play a hands-on role in a buy-and-build strategy with multiple micro-deals already lined up.
• Prepare for the finish line - a future exit that will be a career milestone for everyone involved.

This isn't a hands-off, ivory tower role. You'll lead a small but capable team - yet stay close enough to the numbers to truly shape them. Manufacturing is the heartbeat of this business, so your impact will be felt in every area: production, cost control, margins, and operational performance. Here, finance isn't back-office. It's the engine room. And your leadership will define how that engine runs.

• A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Commercially astute and operationally grounded - you know how to make finance work for the business.
• Proven experience in manufacturing environments.
• Comfortable leading through both structure and uncertainty.
• Someone who thrives on growth, challenge, and shaping what's next.

• A seat at the top table, shaping strategy and value creation from day one.
• A pivotal role in a high-growth, acquisition-led journey.
• Equity participation - share in the value you help create.
• Real autonomy to build the finance function your way.
• A genuine legacy - when you move on, you'll leave behind a stronger, smarter, more valuable business.

If you're the kind of Finance Director who thrives in growth, embraces change, and wants to shape a business that's going places - this is your moment.

Imagine a recruitment partner that doesn't stop at placing you in the perfect role - one that supports your personal and professional growth across your entire career journey.
