We’re looking for a commercially astute finance professional to join a dynamic, fast-paced consumer business — supporting growth, improving profitability and helping shape strategic direction.
This is a high-impact role at the heart of the commercial finance team, partnering closely with trading, marketing and operations to turn data into meaningful insight and drive better business decisions.
The role
* Act as a true business partner to commercial teams, providing challenge, analysis and insight across key trading categories.
* Build a clear understanding of how pricing, product mix, promotions and cost pressures influence margin and performance.
* Support the planning cycle — helping shape budgets, forecasts and long-term strategies with sound financial analysis.
* Track performance against plan, identifying risks and opportunities, and influencing stakeholders on the right actions to take.
* Deliver ad hoc analysis and financial modelling to support new initiatives, investment decisions and business cases.
* Work collaboratively with data and reporting teams to ensure information is accurate, accessible and actionable.
* Continuously look for ways to improve reporting, simplify processes and drive value across the P&L.
About you
* Qualified or part-qualified accountant (CIMA / ACCA / ACA) or equivalent analytical background.
* Proven experience in a commercial, trading or category finance role — ideally within retail, FMCG or another consumer-led sector.
* Naturally curious and commercially minded, with the confidence to challenge and influence at all levels.
* Strong analytical capability, able to link operational activity with financial outcomes.
* Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with multiple priorities and stakeholders.
This role offers the chance to make a visible impact in a business that values proactive thinking, cross-functional collaboration and continuous improvement.
