Head of Finance \n Location: Castle Bromwich \n Salary: £85,000 - £100,000 + Benefits \n \n A senior finance leadership role where you'll sit at the heart of a substantial manufacturing operation, partnering directly with the Site Director and influencing the commercial and operational decisions that drive its performance. \n We are recruiting a Head of Finance for an established and successful manufacturing business with significant operations in the West Midlands. \n This is a broad, visible role with responsibility for the finance function and a genuine seat at the leadership table. Working closely with the Site Managing Director, you'll provide the financial insight, challenge and commercial perspective behind decisions spanning operational performance, profitability, investment and the future development of the business. \n You'll also lead and develop the finance team, maintain a strong financial control environment and ensure the business has the quality of reporting and analysis required to make well-informed decisions. \n This isn't a role where finance operates at arm's length from the operation. You'll be close to what's happening across the site, working directly with the people making the decisions and using finance to influence what happens next. \n \n What you'll be taking on: \n A major part of your role will be partnering with the Site Managing Director and wider leadership team, helping them understand what's driving performance and where the opportunities, risks and priorities sit. \n Alongside this, you will: \n\n • Lead, develop and get the best from the site finance team.\n, • Act as the senior finance partner to operational and commercial leaders across the business.\n, • Own the budgeting, forecasting and longer-term financial planning cycle.\n, • Turn financial and operational data into clear insight that supports better decision-making.\n, • Get underneath manufacturing performance, identifying the drivers behind margins, costs, efficiencies and variances.\n, • Support the Site Director with business cases, capital expenditure, investment decisions and strategic initiatives.\n, • Maintain strong oversight of cash flow, working capital and financial risk.\n, • Ensure the business operates within a robust financial control environment.\n, • Take ownership of statutory reporting, year-end, audit, taxation and associated compliance requirements.\n, • Improve finance processes, reporting and systems where there is an opportunity to make them more effective.\n, • Present financial performance, risks and opportunities to senior leadership and Board-level stakeholders.\n, • Oversee the Company's statutory and Company Secretarial requirements.\n\n \n What we're looking for: \n We're looking for a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) who has already established strong credibility within a manufacturing environment. \n You may already be a Head of Finance, or you could be an experienced Financial Controller ready to step into a broader finance leadership position. Either way, this role needs someone who can combine strong financial control with genuine operational and commercial influence. \n You'll understand the realities of manufacturing: margins, stock, working capital, operational performance and investment. More importantly, you'll know how to use that understanding to challenge and support the people running the operation. \n You'll be comfortable working closely with a Site Managing Director and senior operational leaders, able to challenge constructively and confident enough to offer a different perspective when the numbers point in another direction. \n You'll also need to be equally comfortable with the detail. This is a visible, hands-on finance leadership role rather than one where everything is delegated through the team. \n We're particularly interested in people who can demonstrate: \n\n • Strong experience within a manufacturing finance environment.\n, • Leadership and development of finance teams.\n, • Effective business partnering with senior operational stakeholders.\n, • Excellent budgeting, forecasting and analytical capability.\n, • A track record of improving financial processes, reporting or controls.\n, • Strong technical accounting foundations.\n, • Commercial judgement and the confidence to influence senior decision-makers.\n\n Exposure to consumer products, FMCG or another fast-moving manufacturing environment would be useful. \n Why consider it?: \n The attraction here is the influence that you will have as Head of Finance within such a commercial operation. \n You'll work directly alongside the Site Managing Director rather than operating as a remote reporting function. That gives you visibility of what's happening across the business and the opportunity to influence decisions before they're made. You'll also have ownership of the finance function and the autonomy to develop the team, strengthen reporting and improve how finance supports the operation. \n For an ambitious Financial Controller, it offers a genuine move into senior finance leadership and a much broader level of influence. For an established Head of Finance, it provides the combination of autonomy, operational exposure and senior-level partnership that can

You will join an established specialist consultancy with recognised market presence, warm client relationships, active talent networks and genuine support to build a high performing desk. \n Why Christchurch? \n We are not going to pretend this is a holiday. It is a career move. \n However, Christchurch gives you the opportunity to build that career in a city where life outside work is genuinely different. \n You can finish work and be at Sumner Beach in around 20 minutes, head into the Port Hills for a mountain bike ride, or spend the weekend skiing at Mount Hutt or exploring the Southern Alps. \n Christchurch has a growing city centre with excellent restaurants, bars, craft breweries, coffee shops and Riverside Market, while the outdoors are never far away. \n Canterbury gives you easy access to surfing, skiing, mountain biking, hiking and some of New Zealand's best outdoor destinations, including Banks Peninsula, Hanmer Springs and Kaikoura. \n It is also a relatively affordable New Zealand city, with a wide range of rental accommodation and new developments. \n The UK Connection \n Moving to the other side of the world is a big decision, which is why having people around you who have done it themselves matters. \n Our Christchurch Manager, Ben Holloway and one of our Directors both moved to New Zealand from the UK. \n You will have people around you who understand the move, the differences in working culture, settling into Christchurch and everything that comes with building a life in New Zealand. \n There is also no shortage of familiar accents and British banter in the office. \n Your Recruitment Career \n This is not a generalist recruitment role. Tyler Wren specialises in high value professional services recruitment across: \n\n • Legal: New Zealand and Australia\n, • Accounting: New Zealand and Australia\n, • Banking, Finance, Insurance & Risk: New Zealand\n\n Your market will be aligned with your existing recruitment experience, commercial strengths and interests. \n We are particularly interested in recruiters who know how to build genuine client relationships, develop candidate networks and run a commercially successful desk. \n Why Tyler Wren? \n\n • Established platform: You will have an existing business, market presence, client relationships and talent networks to build from. This is not a cold start.\n, • Genuine autonomy: You are an experienced recruiter, so we treat you like one. You will have ownership of your desk, relationships and working day without unnecessary micromanagement.\n, • Uncapped earning potential: A competitive base salary combined with an uncapped commission structure gives you the opportunity to build your earnings as your desk grows.\n, • Modern technology: You will have access to JobAdder, LinkedIn Recruiter and AI recruitment tools to help you source, manage and develop your market efficiently.\n, • Flexibility: Hybrid working and glide time give you flexibility around when and where you work, provided you deliver the outcomes expected of you.\n\n What We Offer \n\n • Competitive base salary\n, • Uncapped commission\n, • Potential pathway to long term visa sponsorship for the right person\n, • Hybrid working and glide time\n, • Paid birthday leave\n, • Quarterly bonus days off\n, • NZ$600 annual cellphone allowance\n, • Employee Assistance Programme\n, • Annual flu vaccination\n\n Moving from the UK \n We understand that relocating internationally comes with practical questions. \n If you are eligible to work in New Zealand on a Working Holiday Visa, this can provide a straightforward way to make the initial move. \n Once you are established in the role, we can look at longer term visa options for the right person who wants to build a permanent career with Tyler Wren. \n We are looking for someone who wants to make Christchurch home and build something lasting. \n What We Are Looking For \n You will be an experienced Recruitment Consultant with a proven ability to manage and grow a specialist recruitment desk. \n Legal, accounting, finance, banking, insurance or risk recruitment experience would be ideal, although we are open to recruiters from other specialist professional services markets. \n More importantly, you will be someone who: \n\n • Builds strong, long term client relationships\n, • Knows how to develop and manage a candidate network\n, • Is commercially minded and motivated by results\n, • Works independently without needing to be micromanaged\n, • Is resilient and self motivated\n, • Wants to build something rather than simply maintain an existing desk\n, • Is genuinely excited about living and working in New Zealand\n\n Life in Christchurch \n Imagine finishing work and being on the beach 20 minutes later. Imagine having the Port Hills on your doorstep for an evening mountain bike ride. \n Imagine skiing at Mount Hutt on Saturday and being back in Christchurch for dinner. Or taking a weekend trip to Kaikoura, Hanmer Springs or Banks Peninsula without having to organise a flight. \n A proper city. A great outdoor lifestyle. Short commutes. Easy access to the coast. Mountains within reach. More space and time outside work. \n That is the lifestyle you are moving for. The recruitment career is what makes the move worthwhile. \n Ready to Explore the Move? \n You do not need an updated CV or a formal application to start the conversation. \n If you are an experienced recruiter in the UK and have ever thought “I could actually live in New Zealand”, let's have a conversation. \n It will be informal, confidential and with no obligation. \n Get in touch to discuss what a move to Christchurch and Tyler Wren could look like. \n Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
