👩💻 Your Impact

As Operations Finance Manager, you'll be the finance partner who sits right next to Operations, turning what happens on the production floor into numbers the whole company can trust. You'll own the full financial picture of making our Kaleido devices: the cost of goods sold, the overhead allocations behind it, the inventory on our balance sheet, and the forecast of where unit costs are heading. Building on a strong cost control foundation, this role brings cost accounting, operations FP&A and project controlling together under a single owner, by design.

This is a build role, not a maintain role. Today, costing, forecasting and project spend each live in a different team, operational metrics and financial data rarely meet, and project reporting looks fine in total but lacks the detail to steer by. Your challenge is to change that: deliver a close that is consistent in timing and quality, connect operational KPIs to the financials, give every project sponsor real transparency on spend versus progress, and be confident enough to challenge Operations with data while staying their trusted partner. With gross margin as the metric that shapes ViCentra's next chapter, you'll do it at speed, with plenty of autonomy and a direct line of sight to the Senior Leadership Team and the Board.

🔧 What you’ll take on

In your role, you will:

  • Own the standard cost model end to end: bill of materials, labour and overhead absorption rates, and the annual standard cost roll, with assumptions agreed with Operations up front.
  • Run the monthly production close and explain variances by driver (price, usage, yield, labour, absorption, volume), then close the root causes rather than reporting them again next month.
  • Own inventory valuation, including excess and obsolescence provisions, and reconcile the inventory subledger to the general ledger without manual bridging.
  • Manage the financial interface with our contract manufacturing partner: transfer prices, invoice-to-standard reconciliation, tooling, and the cost impact of engineering changes.
  • Translate the commercial sales plan into a supply and production plan, and from there into a driver-based production cost forecast and the manufacturing lines of the annual budget.
  • Build the gross margin bridge and unit cost trajectory in a form the SLT and Board can read on one page and interrogate on the second.
  • Set up a consistent financial format for the PMO portfolio, covering business case, budget, spend to date, forecast to complete and benefit realisation, and apply the right capitalisation treatment.
  • Prepare and challenge investment appraisals for capacity expansion, cost-down and new product introduction projects, and follow up on whether the promised benefits actually landed.
  • Establish a regular cadence with Operations that brings financial and operational metrics together into one complete, reconciled picture.
  • Simplify and automate recurring work such as the cost roll, variance pack and project reporting, using AI smartly to multiply your output.

📌 What you bring

  • Degree in accounting, finance, economics or a related field; a professional qualification (CIMA, ACCA, RA, CPA or equivalent) is preferred.
  • 6 to 9 years of finance experience, most of it in cost accounting or production finance within a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong technical command of standard costing, BOM and routing structures, variance analysis, inventory valuation and subledger to GL reconciliation in a live ERP (QAD, SAP, Oracle, NetSuite or similar).
  • A clear understanding of how operations work and how that lands in the financials, including experience working with an external or contract manufacturer.
  • Proven ownership of at least one cost improvement or capacity expansion programme, from business case to honest assessment of what was delivered.
  • Excellent stakeholder skills: you build trust with operations teams, hold your position with evidence, push back when needed, and raise conflicts early.
  • Resilience and a builder's mindset: you thrive at high speed, create structure where none exists, and see an imperfect first version as a starting point.
  • Advanced Excel and modelling skills, and genuine curiosity about using AI as a professional tool.
  • Fluent English; Dutch is a plus.
  • Bonus points for medical device or regulated manufacturing experience (MDR, ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820), IFRS capitalisation knowledge, or Power BI/Tableau skills.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
