About the Role
Finance Business Partner
Help shape performance, not just report on it
We're looking for a commercially minded
Finance Business Partner
to work closely with business leaders, providing the financial insight, challenge and support needed to drive performance and better decision-making.
This is not a role focused purely on reporting numbers.
It's about using financial insight to influence outcomes.
You'll partner with operational leaders, help shape plans, challenge assumptions, improve visibility and support smarter commercial decisions across your area of responsibility.
It's a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working close to the business, can translate complex financial information into clear insight, and wants to play a visible role in improving performance and supporting growth.
What you'll be doing
You'll act as a trusted finance partner to business leaders, helping turn strategy into robust financial plans, targets and measurable outcomes.
You'll lead budgeting, forecasting and reforecasting activity for your area, making sure plans are aligned, assumptions are clear, and financial outlooks are accurate and actionable.
You'll produce meaningful management reporting and performance insight, helping stakeholders understand results, identify risks and opportunities, and take action where needed.
You'll support commercial decision-making through strong analysis, including investment appraisals, business cases, pricing support, scenario modelling and performance evaluation.
You'll also help track operational and financial KPIs, identify opportunities to improve efficiency or margin, and drive stronger financial discipline across the business.
Alongside this, you'll play an important role in maintaining strong financial control, ensuring reporting integrity, and improving the quality, efficiency and usefulness of financial processes and tools.
What success looks like
Success in this role will be measured by the quality of insight and value you bring to the business.
That could include more accurate forecasting, clearer performance visibility, stronger business cases, improved cost control, better margin performance and more confident decision-making from leaders you support.
It will also be about how effectively you build trust and credibility – becoming a finance partner who is seen as adding real commercial value, not just producing reports.
What we're looking for
We're looking for someone with strong financial and commercial capability, combined with the confidence to challenge, influence and support stakeholders at different levels of the business.
You'll likely have experience in a finance business partnering, commercial finance or portfolio-focused role, with a track record of supporting operational or functional leaders in a fast-paced environment.
You should be comfortable with budgeting, forecasting, modelling and performance analysis, and able to turn data into clear recommendations that support better business decisions.
Strong Excel capability is important, and experience with BI/reporting tools such as
Power BI
or
Tableau
, along with ERP systems, would be valuable.
Just as importantly, you'll be someone who communicates well, builds strong working relationships and can balance detail with the bigger commercial picture.
Why this role matters
This role sits at the heart of business performance.
You'll help leaders understand what is happening, why it is happening and what should happen next.
Your input will support better planning, stronger control, improved returns and more informed decision-making across the business.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to take on a highly visible role with genuine commercial impact.
