Background:
STYRKR is one of the UK’s fastest-growing performance nutrition and manufacturing brands, fuelling elite and daily athletes, adventurers, and performance-focused consumers with high-quality, science-led supplements. We’re not just a brand, we’re a vertically integrated operation with in-house manufacturing, global D2C reach, Amazon dominance, and a fast-expanding white-label client base.
After scaling from launch to £6.5M+ revenue with a lean team, we’re now entering our next phase: international expansion, rapid innovation, and commercial growth - targeting £30M+ in revenue. To support that journey, we’re hiring a Finance Manager to help us stay financially sharp, operationally efficient, and strategically focused.
This is a pivotal role for a commercially astute, hands-on Finance Manager who thrives in high-growth environments. You’ll work closely with the Founder, Managing Director, and Business Operations Director to lead financial operations, reporting, and strategy. From managing cash flow and modelling growth scenarios to improving systems and delivering key insights, you’ll be right at the centre of the company’s scale-up story.
Main Accountabilities:
Finance Operations & Compliance
* Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual financial closes
* Own monthly reconciliation across all revenue streams (D2C, B2B, Amazon, Manufacturing)
* Maintain and improve financial processes across AP, AR, payroll, VAT, PAYE, and HMRC compliance
* Liaise with external accountants and manage all statutory filing deadlines
* Provide leadership and development opportunities for the existing finance team member
Commercial Finance & Cost Control
* Track and report on operating cash flow, burn rate, COGS, contribution margin, and gross margin by channel
* Analyse key metrics including CAC, LTV, payback periods, and working capital efficiency
* Oversee inventory valuation, stock management, and cash conversion cycles
* Partner with Sales and Ops to optimise pricing strategies and scenario-based forecasting
Strategic Insight, Reporting & Forecasting
* Deliver timely monthly management accounts, KPI dashboards, and internal board packs
* Lead annual budgeting and quarterly forecasting cycles
* Own cash flow forecasting and long-range scenario modelling
* Provide actionable insights to support strategic decisions and drive profitability, efficiency, and growth
* Maintain clear visibility across P&L, balance sheet, and inventory performance
Systems & Process Improvements
* Optimise financial systems and internal controls (currently NetSuite, under review)
* Lead improvements to reporting workflows and integrations
* Support ERP transition and new tool implementation
* Design and implement scalable, future-proof finance processes
What We’re Looking For
* 3–5+ years’ experience in finance roles, ideally in FMCG, eCommerce, or manufacturing
* ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or equivalent practical experience)
* Strong commercial mindset with proven experience in forecasting and scenario planning
* Advanced Excel/Sheets capability and ideally some experience of ERP systems (e.g. NetSuite)
* Clear, confident communicator who can simplify complex financials into actionable insight
* Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment
* Experience with Shopify, Amazon, or multi-channel retail is a plus
What You’ll Get
* Competitive salary + performance bonus
* Key leadership role with direct impact on company strategy
* Flexible hybrid working, with HQ based near Gatwick
* Visibility across all business areas — from E-comm to manufacturing
* A fast-paced, high-ownership environment built for ambitious operators
* Clear progression to Financial Controller or Finance Director as we scale
