Rutherford Cross are pleased to be engaged by a high-tech Manufacturing company in North Glasgow to help appoint the newly created position of Finance Business Partner. They operate a hybrid and flexible working pattern with an earlier finish on a Friday. Salary up to 50k.

This position has been created due to significant growth in business (head count growth of 33% in the last 6 months at their Glasgow facility).
