Commercial Finance Manager - This -200m international FMCG group, operating in the brand and retail sectors is embarking on an exciting stage of growth and is creating a new role - Commercial Finance Manager (FP&A) - which will be key to its bottom line.

Focussing on EBITDA and reporting directly to the CEO, the new Commercial Finance Manager will bring experience and commercial skills to the senior team - skills across FP&A, performance analysis, contract negotiation and business partnering, in order to drive margin improvement.

This Commercial Finance Manager role will work closely with the CEO, the Board, the Sales Team, Suppliers, Licensors, Operations, Logistics, the Finance Team and other stakeholders in order to identify cost reduction and profit improvement initiatives.

This is not a line finance role. It sits outside of the finance team, in FP&A, and has a strategic, commercial and analytical focus, liaising extensively with external stakeholders such as suppliers and licensors.

The ideal candidate will have significant commercial acumen - will want to make a difference and see how his / her initiatives contribute directly to year-on-year EBITDA growth.
