Key information:
Reporting to: Managing Director
Terms: Full-Time, On-site

Shipton Mill is the home of regenerative organic flour. Since 1979, the company has produced flour using excellent grains - working with like-minded farmers who promote biodiversity and protect the soil. Only the finest grains are selected for their precise milling process, distilling the flavours through scrupulous care.
As champions of regenerative organic agriculture, they support farming practices that maintain and improve soil fertility for future generations. This is just one example of how Shipton Mill are always looking towards the future. Sustainability is at the core of their philosophy - supported by a set of eco-friendly commitments. For example, the mill is powered by 100% renewable energy, including from their own solar panels. They have eliminated plastic from their online retail orders, using recycled paper fibres instead. Furthermore, they help protect the diverse ecosystem surrounding the mill - which is home to wild brown trout, kingfishers, damselflies, and otters.
They’re seeking a financial expert to help with the company’s evolution. The future direction of Shipton Mill will be underpinned by organic growth. The pillars of that growth will be built on:
- Technological advancement
- Their people and cultural development
- Environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles
- Commercial decision making
The Financial Controller will be fundamental in the hands-on delivery of organisational objectives and the formation of logistical priorities. They will be accountable for financial reporting and decision-making alongside the Managing Director. In addition to financial management and analysis, the successful candidate will be responsible for strategic planning, team leadership, risk management and IT support.
Shipton Mill hope to hear from shrewd and forward-thinking individuals, with the ability to inspire a team towards a collective goal. The successful candidate will be a fully qualified accountant, with strong technical knowledge and proficiency with finance software systems. They will be unapologetically methodological in their approach to work, and be willing to challenge the status quo with strategic recommendations and new solutions.
