A successful, growing group of businesses based in Barnsley are looking to appoint a commercially driven Group Finance Manager to play a key role within its leadership team.
Reporting directly to the Group Finance Director, this is an opportunity to take real ownership of the group’s finance function, lead a team of four and work closely with senior stakeholders to influence business performance, strengthen financial processes and support continued growth.
