<h1>Commercial Controller | Manufacturing | Dudley</h1><p><strong>Up to £70,000 + benefits | Permanent | Hybrid - 3 days on site</strong></p><h3>This isn't a month-end role.</h3><p>If your background is in <strong>commercial finance, finance business partnering or commercial analysis</strong>, and you enjoy being close to the decisions that drive a manufacturing business forward, this could be an opportunity worth exploring.</p><p>I'm working exclusively on a newly created <strong>Commercial Controller</strong> position within a growing manufacturing business that has recently been acquired and is now part of a much larger European corporate group.</p><p>The business is growing quickly - with an ambitious plan to <strong>double turnover over the next three years</strong> - and finance is becoming increasingly influential in how the site makes commercial decisions.</p><p>This is a <strong>hands-on, commercially focused role</strong>, partnering directly with the Site Managing Director and wider leadership team, with a dotted line into Group Finance.</p><h3>What will make you stand out?</h3><p>You will already have a strong <strong>commercial finance / business partnering background</strong> and be comfortable challenging the numbers rather than simply reporting them.</p><p>I'm particularly interested in people who have experience with:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Commercial forecasting and financial modelling</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Pricing, margin and profitability analysis</strong></p></li><li><p>Challenging assumptions around <strong>sales, volumes, customer opportunities and cost</strong></p></li><li><p>Working closely with Sales, Operations and senior leadership</p></li><li><p>Turning financial data into <strong>commercial decisions and actions</strong></p></li><li><p>Manufacturing, FMCG, retail or another commercially driven environment</p></li><li><p><strong>Private label</strong>, retailer relationships or customer-specific pricing</p></li><li><p>Acquisition, integration or bringing a business into a larger group structure</p></li></ul><p>You might currently be a <strong>Finance Business Partner, Commercial Finance Analyst, Senior Commercial Analyst or similar</strong>, and see this as the opportunity to step into a broader Commercial Controller position.</p><h3>What this role isn't</h3><p>This isn't a traditional Financial Controller or Management Accountant position.</p><p>If your experience is primarily <strong>month-end, statutory reporting and financial control</strong>, without significant commercial partnering, forecasting, pricing or margin exposure, this probably won't be the right fit.</p><p>We're looking for someone who wants to be <strong>part of the commercial conversation</strong> - someone who can ask the difficult questions, spot an opportunity in the numbers and help the leadership team make better decisions.</p><h3>Why now?</h3><p>The business is at an interesting point in its growth.</p><p>Following a recent acquisition, it is becoming part of a much larger international group while retaining significant opportunity at site level.
