The Finance Department plays a crucial role in providing strategic, management, and operational financial support to the firm.

This pivotal and high-visibility role is integral to our finance management team. Working closely with the Finance Operations Director, the Finance Operations Manager will oversee the entire order-to-cash cycle, ensuring efficiency and effectiveness.

The position is based in Cambridge, where our finance team is primarily located, with occasional visits to regional offices (approximately 10-20 days per year).

  • Challenging and controlling work in progress and order book numbers.
  • Drive efficiencies from the financial reporting software (NetSuite) and other packages, ensuring benefits are understood, documented, and realised across the group.
  • Delivering operational process and procedural improvements.
  • Occasionally deputising for the Finance Operations Director at senior management meetings.
  • Contributing to a wide range of ad-hoc projects (e.g. Introducing ‘dunning’ to the business and systemised invoice despatch.

  • Enthusiastic & energetic whilst remaining professional.
  • Skilled communicator, both written & verbal.
  • Ability to handle multiple workstreams whilst prioritising effectively.
  • Highly collaborative with a solutions-based approach.
  • Ability to prioritise and deal with complex problems.
