Senior Finance Business Partner required for a large, well-known UK brand to help drive and effectively manage cost strategy
A high-impact opportunity has arisen for a commercially astute Senior Finance Business Partner to lead on cost strategy and support decision-making across a complex, multi-entity organisation. As part of a newly established Group Cost team, this role is pivotal to improving cost visibility, driving value, and embedding financial accountability across the business.
Working closely with Finance Directors, the CFO, COO and senior business leaders, you’ll help shape how the organisation plans, manages and optimises its cost base — balancing robust control with strategic insight. You’ll be a trusted advisor to the business, supporting smarter, data-led decisions that align to long-term goals.
Key Requirements:
* Qualified accountant (CIMA / ACCA / ACA) with 5+ years’ post-qualified experience
* Proven track record in cost management, FP&A or commercial finance within large, complex businesses
* Excellent business partnering skills with the ability to influence and challenge senior stakeholders
* Strong analytical mindset and advanced Excel capabilities
* Comfortable leading cross-functional cost initiatives and improving financial processes
* Commercially focused, with the ability to translate financial data into actionable business insight
* Resilient, proactive, and results-driven, with strong attention to detail
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead cost reporting and analysis across the group, including end-to-end P&Ls, category insights and productivity KPIs
* Partner with operational and functional leaders to manage spend and align cost decisions with strategic priorities
* Build and implement processes to track and control key cost categories (e.g. IT, professional services, overheads)
* Deliver clear, forward-looking insight to support planning, forecasting and investment decisions
* Align cost classification and allocation approaches across finance and business units
* Drive a cost-aware culture by promoting financial accountability and value-based thinking at all levels
* Support broader transformation initiatives and ad hoc cost projects as required
This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a role that goes beyond traditional reporting — enabling you to influence how the business operates, makes decisions, and drives long-term performance.
