A superb opportunity has arisen to join a global business based in Mid Kent as a Project Finance Manager. 

We’re looking for a proactive and commercially minded individual to join a dynamic Project Accounting team supporting large-scale transformation initiatives. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in driving financial performance across complex programmes, partnering closely with project leaders and influencing decision-making from day one.

If you enjoy combining financial rigour with strategic insight — and want to see the tangible impact of your work — this role offers both challenge and visibility.

The Role

You will:

• Provide project accounting support across major transformation programmes, ensuring financial information is accurate, timely, and aligned with business needs

• Partner with project teams to review, challenge, and refine financial assumptions, forecasts, and budgets

• Deliver insightful analysis and reporting to optimise programme performance and monitor profitability and working capital

• Implement and maintain strong financial controls in line with governance frameworks and audit requirements

• Support projects across the full lifecycle — from setup and forecasting through to reporting, analysis, and closure

• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure financial processes enable delivery of programme objectives

• Line manage 1–2 team members, supporting their development and performance

About You

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• Experience in project finance, financial planning, or programme accounting within complex environments

• Strong analytical skills and confidence working with stakeholders to influence outcomes

• Advanced Excel skills and the ability to quickly learn new systems

• Professional accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) — or nearing completion — highly desirable

• Leadership or people management experience (advantageous)

• Experience in construction or large capital programmes (desirable but not essential)

The Team

You’ll join a collaborative Project Accounting function that works closely with programme and operational teams, providing financial control and business partnering across significant transformation initiatives. The team plays a critical role in ensuring financial decisions support long-term success and continuous improvement.

What’s on Offer
