Our client, a forward-thinking consumer and retail technology business, is seeking a Senior Commercial Finance Manager to help drive strategic growth and innovation across its digital channels and omnichannel platforms. This is a key commercial leadership role, supporting the integration of finance and technology to optimise performance in a fast-paced, data-rich retail environment.
This position has a clear path to Head of Finance within 18–24 months, offering a high-impact role within a business that values digital transformation, data-driven decisions, and agile financial leadership.
Key Responsibilities:
- Partner with Technology and Marketing Leaders to shape long-term digital growth strategies, identifying smart investments in brand, platform development, and customer experience innovations.
- Evaluate digital pricing, promotional mechanics, and value architecture to unlock profitable growth across eCommerce and retail tech channels.
- Lead commercial financial planning and forecasting to support data-driven decision making, particularly in relation to digital product performance and ROI on tech investments.
- Own financial input into brand and digital roadmap planning, helping product and digital brand teams build strategies rooted in commercial viability.
- Maintain clear insight into trading and digital performance, including customer behaviour analytics, channel performance (e.g. D2C, marketplaces), and competitor landscape shifts.
- Develop robust business cases for technology investments, including platforms, tools, digital innovation, and marketing tech – ensuring returns meet both consumer impact and financial hurdle rates.
- Influence strategic decisions through compelling commercial insights, backed by data and aligned to evolving technology and customer trends.
- Build and evolve advanced financial modelling tools and dashboards, enhancing speed and quality of decision-making across business functions.
- Model innovation-led initiatives, particularly those that leverage technology (e.g. AI-powered personalisation, subscription models, fulfilment automation), to assess margin and scalability potential.
- Be a mentor and leader to junior finance and cross-functional team members, setting a high bar for strategic, tech-savvy financial business partnering.
About You:
- Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with a strong background in commercial finance.
- Experience working in technology-led retail, consumer digital, or eCommerce environments highly advantageous.
- Able to demonstrate strong business partnering with marketing, digital, and product teams.
- A strategic thinker with a passion for performance improvement, innovation, and leveraging data/technology to unlock growth.
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, digitally evolving environments where customer expectations and platform capabilities shape decisions.
