Your strategic leadership will now prepare the business for, and then deliver on our future growth plans.

• Build long term, trusting relationships with shareholders, staff, customers & suppliers

• Oversee the company’s financial performance in line with agreed budgets and KPIs

• Coach the management team providing guidance and motivation to drive maximum performance and talent and development pipeline that can deliver the growth strategy

• Develop and enhance the company culture in line with the agreed values, ensuring HCI Systems retains a positive work environment and remains a great place to work

Who are we looking for?

• Previous working experience as Managing Director in a technical manufacturing business

• Hands on experience in developing strategic and business plans

• In depth knowledge of market changes and forces that influence the company

• Clear understanding of the P&L with a focus on the bottom line

• Familiarity with corporate law and management best practices

• Excellent organisational and time management skills

• Outstanding communication, presentation and leadership skills

• Superior quantitative and qualitative analytical skills

• Problem solver able to keep calm and efficient under pressure

What can we offer you?

• A competitive salary which will grow in line with your impact and the business’ performance

• Private medical cover for your family

• Car allowance

• Training opportunities for continuing professional development

• Car, cycle and pension salary sacrifice schemes

• Paid time off for volunteering

• Life assurance
