Distinct Recruitment is partnering with a well-established national business to recruit a Finance Business Partner for its North Leicestershire head office.

This is a genuinely commercial role, working closely with senior operational leaders across a large, multi-site division. You’ll partner with several General Managers and an Operations Director, providing the financial insight and challenge needed to improve performance across the operation.
