This is such an amazing role - great people, fun culture, product based and rapidly expanding.
We really want an emotionally intelligent, fun and commercial human!
This is building out a new FP&A team from scratch.
We are looking for a fun, bright, and people-centric Head of Commercial Finance who is seeking a hands-on and progressive new role. This is a very fast-paced and creative business that is rapidly expanding.
This is offering the chance to be a key part of their journey and importantly have a massive impact.
Requirements:
* Qualified Accountant (ACA or equivalent).
* Strong FP&A experience – reporting through to commercial finance / data.
* Ambitious, strong communicator with a good sense of humour.
* Experience from retail, manufacturing or consumer products industries would be highly advantageous.
Based in London (3 days a week in the office), this role would suit a very commercial and hands-on FP&A leader motivated by raising the profile of commercial finance across the business.
This is one of the most unique, high-potential, and exciting FP&A roles currently available in London. What makes this role so interesting is the impact you can have on building an innovative function that is data and business partnering-led.
The Role:
This role will be based in Central London, joining an existing team of seven. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will take ownership of all FP&A, Reporting, Commercial Finance, and Business Partnering.
Responsibilities:
* Manage the global FP&A function.
* Support the CFO in driving world-class insights and data across the wider business.
* Implement and build a new KPI and reporting structure.
* Drive analysis around product launches and performance.
* Understand sales margins, pricing, and manufacturing costs.

* Create a true culture of business partnering.
* Build all forecasting, planning, and budgeting processes.
* Work with the wider team to ensure rigorous controls and processes are in place.
* Support in reporting commercial results to key internal and external stakeholders.
* Assist in preparing board packs and glossy accounts.
* Report key numbers and analysis to the board and stock market.
* Advise the CEO, CTO, and MD on commercial analysis.
* Lead a number of key business initiatives and projects.
This is a varied and challenging role, working alongside a talented CFO and an ambitious leadership team.
Your Profile:
We are looking for an innovative commercial leader who is passionate about all aspects of FP&A and Business Partnering. Being able to work in London three days a week is critical.
While we are sector-agnostic, experience in FMCG, Manufacturing, Consumer Products, or related industries would be particularly valuable.
The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of supply chains, product margins, pricing strategies, and customer trends, with a proven ability to apply these insights in a high-growth environment.
