This is a great opportunity to build out a role, designing and implementing the financial frameworks, processes, and analytics that will directly influence our commercial success and competitive advantage. It’s a fast-paced role and requires a structured thinker and strong problem solver that can integrate themselves within this area of the business and take the lead on strategic decision-making.

The role is based in Hammersmith, London and will report to the Head of Finance Business Partnering, with close ties to FP&A, the VP of Commercial Finance, CFO and senior leaders in the Supply Organisation.

  • Develop and own the robust financial framework for the multi-million pound supply investment fund, from initial proposal to post-investment review, including leading on financial due diligence on all proposed upfront investments.
  • Partner with the Supply team to structure deals, evaluate risk, and present compelling business cases to the executive leadership team for approval.
  • Establish and manage a tracking and reporting process to monitor the performance of deployed capital against budget, performance of commercial deals and effectiveness of Supply strategy.

  • A genuine self-starter with a proactive mindset. You are comfortable with ambiguity and thrive on the challenge of building new capabilities in a 'greenfield' setting.
  • Strong commercial acumen and a clear understanding of the key levers that drive profitability.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills, with a proven ability to influence, challenge, and support senior non-finance leaders.
