Are you a commercially driven finance leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments and knows how to turn data into real business impact?
This award-winning FMCG brand, recognised for its innovation, transparency and commitment to sustainability, is looking for a Head of Commercial Finance to lead its commercial finance and FP&A capability.
With operations across the UK, Europe and North America, and a strong omnichannel presence across retail and e-commerce, this is a business that continues to scale rapidly. You’ll be joining a values‑led, entrepreneurial environment where finance is central to driving performance, but where there’s still plenty of opportunity to sharpen how data is used to influence decisions.
This is a pivotal role, sitting on the leadership team and partnering closely with the CFO and senior commercial stakeholders. The focus is not just on leading from the top, but on building a function that truly understands the numbers, gets under the skin of performance and uses data to challenge and influence the business.
Responsibilities
* Leading the commercial finance and FP&A function, shaping how the business plans, tracks and improves performance
* Driving clearer insight into profitability across channels, customers and regions, using data to influence decision‑making
* Partnering with commercial teams on pricing, promotions and investment decisions, providing both support and challenge
* Improving forecasting, planning and reporting processes, moving towards more forward‑looking, actionable insight
* Getting hands‑on with data – building models, improving access to information and shifting the focus from reporting to insight
* Developing and leading a small team, helping move them towards a more proactive, business‑facing model
Candidate profile
* Significant experience in commercial finance within SME (c. £50m‑200m revenue) FMCG brands
* A strong track record of working with data – not just reviewing outputs, but getting hands‑on and extracting insight that influences decisions
* Experience partnering with commercial stakeholders on pricing, promotions, investment and profitability
* Proven ability to operate in fast‑paced, high‑growth or entrepreneurial environments
* Strong leadership capability, with experience developing teams and improving ways of working
* Comfortable balancing strategic thinking with a hands‑on, detail‑oriented approach
Location
Central London (2 days per week in office)
If you’re someone who enjoys getting into the detail, using data to tell a story and wants to build a commercial finance function that genuinely influences how a business operates, I’d be keen to speak.
