Transactional Finance Manager

This is an opportunity for an experienced Transactional Finance Manager to join a well-established finance function.

This is not a new role, but it's an important one. A critical leadership position that plays a central part in ensuring the smooth and efficient running of core finance operations.

You'll take ownership of the day-to-day delivery across Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Banking, and Finance Systems, leading a capable team and working closely with senior leadership, including direct reporting into the CFO.

This role is about more than just oversight. You'll be expected to drive improvements, identify opportunities for automation, and help elevate service levels across internal and external stakeholders.

The finance function is stable and high-performing, but there's still plenty of scope to enhance control, visibility, and value through better systems and smarter processes.

This role is based in Stockton, with hybrid working arrangements in place and a very competitive benefits package.

This role requires someone with strong technical grounding and credible leadership experience. We're looking for someone who brings:

• Strong experience leading Transactional Finance teams.

• A background in managing Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Banking and/or Finance Systems

• Demonstrated experience in leading teams through change, particularly ERP or finance system implementations

• Confidence in dealing with external auditors, and a strong understanding of internal controls and compliance

• A proven ability to build, develop and coach teams, creating a culture of accountability and high performance

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate effectively across finance and non-finance functions

• A proactive, solution-oriented approach, with a mindset geared towards continuous improvement and scalable processes
