Commercial Finance Manager

Commercial Finance Manager High – Growth Consumer

South West London (Hybrid) Permanent

Up to 75,000 + Bonus + Benefits

We're partnering with an exciting, high–growth company to appoint an experienced Commercial Finance Manager into a high–impact role supporting the wider business.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a fast–paced, entrepreneurial environment where the culture is collaborative, down to earth and refreshingly non–corporate. The teams are genuinely supportive, hands–on and solutions–focused people, get stuck in and make things happen.

Reporting into senior finance leadership, this role sits at the heart of commercial decision–making across retail and e–commerce performance.

The Opportunity

The purpose of this role is to provide high–quality commercial finance support to the business, helping teams understand performance, optimise profitability and make better–informed decisions.

You'll be responsible for building and maintaining insightful financial models, delivering meaningful analysis and partnering closely with stakeholders across trading, buying, merchandising and e–commerce.

This role would suit someone who enjoys pace, ownership and working closely with the business rather than sitting purely in the numbers.

Key Responsibilities

Business Partnering & Performance

• Act as a trusted finance partner across all departments and build strong relationships
• Provide the right balance of support and constructive challenge to drive performance
• Deliver clear, actionable insight to senior stakeholders
• Prepare and track KPIs to optimise key business drivers
• Attend weekly trading meetings and translate performance into forward–looking actions

Planning & Forecasting

• Play a lead role in budgeting and reforecasting cycles
• Manage and evolve financial planning models
• Monitor weekly performance and assess impact on forecast
• Support scenario planning in a fast–moving trading environment

Commercial Analysis

• Deliver sales and margin variance analysis
• Partner closely with Buying and Merchandising to drive efficiencies
• Lead CAPEX forecasting, reporting and post–investment reviews
• Produce robust financial appraisals to support decision–making

Team Leadership

• Support, coach and develop a team of three direct reports
• Foster a positive, collaborative team environment

What We're Looking For

• Fully Qualified Accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
• Proven experience in a commercial finance or business partnering role
• Retail, consumer or multi–site experience highly beneficial
• Strong financial modelling and Excel capability
• Confident communicator able to influence non–finance stakeholders
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Comfortable working in a fast–paced, evolving environment

We're looking for someone who is:

• Commercially curious and proactive
• Down to earth and approachable
• Comfortable rolling their sleeves up
• Calm and solutions–focused under pressure
• A natural relationship builder
• Happy in a fast–moving, less corporate culture
• Someone who gets stuck in and just makes things happen

What's On Offer

• Hybrid working
• Strong staff discount
• Real exposure to senior stakeholders
• Supportive, friendly and high–performing team
• Genuine opportunity to add value and make an impact

If you're a commercially minded finance professional who enjoys pace, ownership and working closely with the business we'd love to hear from you.
