Job Description

Our Client
Our client is a globally recognised consumer goods organisation with a strong manufacturing footprint and operations spanning the Middle East, Africa, APAC, and parts of Latin America. Known for operational scale and complexity, the business continues to invest in disciplined growth, cost leadership, and strong commercial governance across markets.
Your Role
This is not a desk-based reporting role. It sits at the commercial core of the business, where finance intersects with manufacturing, supply chain, and strategic decision-making.
You will act as a key partner to operations, bringing structure, foresight, and commercial rigour to how factories perform and how the business scales. From forecasting and factory controls to CAPEX evaluation and cost modelling, your work will directly shape P&L outcomes across multiple regions.
The role requires regular travel as you support manufacturing and operations teams across the Middle East, Africa, APAC, and selected LATAM markets. It is suited to someone who thrives in complex, multi-country environments and can influence confidently without relying on hierarchy or spotlight.
Must-Have

• 12-15 years of progressive finance leadership experience within manufacturing-led FMCG environments
• Strong exposure to plant controlling, supply chain finance, or operational finance at a regional or BU level
• Professional accounting qualification (CA, CPA, CMA, or equivalent)
• Deep expertise in costing methodologies (standard costing, ABC, variance analysis) and CAPEX evaluation
• Hands-on experience with ERP and BI tools such as SAP and Power BI
• Proven ability to engage both operational leaders on the factory floor and senior finance stakeholders at regional or global level
• High resilience, analytical curiosity, and a continuous improvement mindset
