Who are we?
Glad you asked! We're KP Snacks, proud to be part of the Intersnack family. Picture this: over 15,000 of us, spread across more than 30 countries, all working together to create the snacks you love. From Hula Hoops to McCoy's, we're the team behind your favourite munchies.
Here in the UK, we're about 2,400 strong, spread across seven factories and our Slough HQ. But don't let our size fool you – we're as close-knit as they come. We believe in speaking our minds, celebrating our differences, and pushing boundaries together.
Diversity isn't just a buzzword for us. We're on a mission to create a workplace where everyone belongs. So, even if you don't tick every box, we want to hear from you! Your unique perspective could be just what we need. Also, if there's anything we can do to make this process easier for you, just give us a shout.
We’d love to hear from you if you can demonstrate the following knowledge, skills and experience:
Financial expertise that makes an impact – You bring strong technical and data analysis skills, with a proven track record of maintaining the highest standards of financial control and compliance. You should be at least a part-qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA).
Collaborative problem-solving skills – Your strong communication and influencing abilities enable you to work effectively within teams, ensuring accuracy and clarity in financial reporting.
Experience that drives success – Whether gained in finance, accounting, or a related field, your ability to manage financial processes, analyse data, and adapt to dynamic environments will be key to excelling in this role.
Opportunities to grow – While line management, offshore team collaboration, and FMCG experience are beneficial, they’re not essential. We encourage applications from candidates keen to develop their expertise in these areas.
Aligned with our values – You thrive in a fast-paced environment, demonstrate attention to detail, and embrace continuous learning. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel is essential, while experience with JDE, Infor, or rebate management is a bonus.
