Company Description:

At Bosch Rexroth, everything revolves around movement and the success of our customers. With our networked drive and control technologies as well as digital solutions, their machines and systems work efficiently, safely and powerfully. We offer components, system solutions and services for mobile and industrial applications as well as for factory automation. In all areas, we value the know-how and commitment of our employees and enable dynamic careers in an international environment. Around 33,800 people in over 80 countries - and one corporate purpose: "We move industries to make our planet a better place." Do you want to make a difference? Then we look forward to receiving your application to Bosch Rexroth AG.
Bosch Rexroth's Glenrothes/Fife site manufactures hydraulic motors and components for global industrial markets. Our controlling team is four people: a Controlling Manager, a Senior Management Accountant, a management accountant and the role we're hiring now. The site is small enough that you'll see the full picture - costing, reporting, planning, business partnering - and large enough that the work is genuinely complex. You'll report directly to the Controlling Manager and learn by doing the work, with the manager in the room when it matters.

This is a role for someone who wants to build a serious finance career in industry.

Job Description:

* Product Planned Cost (PPC) & SAP costing - own standard costing and product cost calculations for motors and components in SAP, set the planned cost baseline the rest of the business measures itself against, and keep it accurate as material, labour and overhead drivers change
* Variance analysis & P&L ownership - full ownership of the variances against PPC: material price, production order, and manufacturing variances. You'll explain not just what moved, but why, and what the P&L impact looks like through the year. You are the person the site leadership turns to for this answer.
* Rolling forecast & scenario work - own the rolling forecast for your area: identify the events, decisions and external factors that will shift the numbers, model the scenarios, and bring a clear point of view rather than a passive update
* Month-end & reporting - translate monthly performance into clear commercial drivers for site leadership, own parts of the close, and sharpen how reports are built
* Business partnering - cost centre budget tracking with department heads, working closely with operations and procurement on variance root causes, becoming the finance contact non-finance colleagues actively want to talk to
* Project & investment evaluation - business cases, profitability assessments and risk evaluation for capex and operational improvement initiatives
* Continuous improvement - finding ways to automate, simplify and strengthen reporting over time.

Qualifications:

* Degree in Finance, Business or related studies and a professional accounting qualification (ACCA, ICA or CIMA)
* Eager to learn, and self-directed about it. SAP, costing and manufacturing can be learned on the job but still an advantage - the instinct to dig until you understand cannot be taught.
* Proven experience in a Financial Controller / Management Accountant role in manufacturing area is desirable.
* A clear, calm and respectful communicator in English - comfortable explaining a variance to a shop floor team leader and a senior leader in the same week, and just as comfortable asking when you don't know something yet.
* Someone people enjoy working with.
* Confident in Excel. SAP costing exposure is a genuine plus but not a hard requirement.
* Quietly ambitious - you don't need everything figured out yet, but you do need to want more than you have today.

Additional Information:

Your first 12 months
In your first three months you'll get full SAP costing exposure, take ownership of variance reporting for a defined product area, and start partnering with one or two operational departments. By month six you'll be running parts of the month-end close independently and contributing to the rolling forecast. By month twelve you'll be a credible finance voice in front of site leadership and a key member of the controlling team.
