We are at the heart of construction, committed to building progress and transforming the industry to deliver a more sustainable future for all. We are recognised as one of the safest, most customer-focused companies in this space and we are looking for you to be part of our movement to grow, innovate and develop together to create continuous value. Join today and build progress with us.

The Opportunity

At Aggregate Industries we are on the lookout for a dynamic Finance Director to join our Concrete Products business unit and strategically partner with the Managing Director and senior leadership team. You will be the architect of our financial and business strategies that will shape the future of our business. 

This is a particularly exciting opportunity as you will join at a point of business transformation and will be involved in elevating and transform our existing business.

You’ll look at cost and operational efficiency to ensure our movements in the market make commercial sense.

We have already implemented the systems and tools needed to build our e-commerce business and as Finance Director, you will play a significant role in ensuring this is a success, guiding on our market positioning and prospective opportunities. 

Whilst not a central part of the day to day role, there is also the chance to lead on M&A activity in the division.

You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive business growth and profitability, offering challenge and insight to the senior leadership team.

Your direct team of 2 will support you in partnering with your stakeholders by providing the tools and data you need to accurately lead on planning, forecasting and budget management. 

You will also have the support of our central finance team and our overseas Finance Hub who pick up the transactional activities.

Who you are

You are a dynamic Finance leader with the ability to spark challenge and debate at senior levels of the business. You are comfortable being the voice of reason in the room and approach complex scenarios with a considered and calm demeanour.

We know at Aggregate Industries that people can achieve great things when they work together and you’ll play a key role in connecting people throughout the business and building a common cause to get the best out of everyone.

You’ll be a qualified accountant with significant experience in leading teams and working in a matrix environment. This is not a finance role that lives in spreadsheets, instead, you’ll be focused on adding value and character to the division and providing commercial focus.

Whilst you have the technical knowledge of an accountant, your key skills are business partnering and leading with charisma and influence.

Benefits

This role is hybrid with some home working and otherwise based at Bardon Hill, Coalville but you will also spend some time at our site in Hulland Ward, Derbyshire.

As well as a salary reflective of the role, you will receive an annual bonus, pension scheme with 13% company contribution, private healthcare, company car or allowance and more.
