About the role:
You'll sit within our Label & New Business Finance Team, working closely with both finance and non-finance teams to assess profitability, challenge costs, and provide insight that drives better decision-making. It’s a mix of financial analysis, management accounts, and business partnering – and you'll have a direct impact on how our third-party brands perform.
From Adidas to Animal, Superdry to Scion – our branded sales are a big part of what we do, and we're looking for a Finance Analyst who’s just as passionate about making every penny count as we are. You’ll play a key role in making sure our third-party brands are profitable, sustainable, and set up to grow.
If you love diving into data, uncovering commercial opportunities, and working cross-functionally to make things happen, this could be the role for you.
A few things you’ll get stuck into:
* Managing brand-level profitability analysis – spotting trends, tracking performance, and flagging areas for improvement.
* Supporting new brand launches – appraising the numbers and making sure we’re set up for success.
* Reviewing the detail behind our P&Ls and preparing analysis for senior leadership.
* Collaborating with other finance teams to make sure our allocations, reporting, and forecasts are accurate and joined up.
* Keeping close tabs on our licensing cost centres – controlling spend and ensuring value.
* Working alongside buying and merchandising to evaluate new branded wholesale opportunities.
About you:
* At least 3 years’ experience in a finance or analytical role
* CIMA/ACCA qualified (or part-qualified)
* Strong with Excel – PowerPivot and Power Query would be a bonus
* Comfortable with large datasets – ideally with SQL or Power BI experience
* Great attention to detail and able to work independently
* Confident preparing financial schedules and presenting them to senior stakeholders
* Commercially aware, solutions-focused, and proactive in how you work
* A team player with a flexible, can-do attitude
Why you’ll love it here
This is more than just crunching numbers – it’s about driving real commercial change. You’ll have exposure to a broad range of stakeholders, get to work with some of the most exciting brands in the market, and be part of a fast-paced, collaborative team that’s always looking to do things better.
