Granular Aluminum (grAl) has been proven to be an ideal material for magnetic coupling. The high critical field of this dirty superconductor allows operation in 100 - 500 mT magnetic fields. Recent experiments have further demonstrated high coherences of grAl resonators and qubits. We implement a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) made out of grAl constriction junctions to construct a flux sensitive grAl resonator. By placing a ferromagnetic cantilever on top of the SQUID loop, we achieve a strong magnetomechanical coupling. This approach could allow us to enter the strong single photon coupling regime between a macroscopic mechanical system and superconducting circuits - a milestone in the field of cavity optomechanics.
