Save job

We’re looking for a commercially minded Finance Business Partner to join a fast-paced, growing business and play a key role in supporting commercial decision-making. This is a high-profile role for a qualified finance professional who enjoys working closely with stakeholders, challenging the numbers and turning financial insight into action. You’ll have real ownership, responsibility and the opportunity to make a tangible impact across the wider business.

What you'll do:

  • Partner closely with senior commercial and operational stakeholders, providing insightful financial analysis and challenge.
  • Take ownership of a key business line & act as the finance lead and trusted commercial partner.
  • Provide meaningful insight into performance, profitability, margins and key business drivers.
  • Support budgeting, forecasting and commercial planning.
  • Analyse financial and operational data to identify opportunities, risks and areas for improvement.
  • Translate complex financial information into clear, actionable recommendations for non-finance stakeholders.
  • Challenge assumptions and influence decision-making using robust financial insight.
  • Work collaboratively across a wider Finance Business Partnering team, sharing insight and supporting broader business priorities.
  • Contribute to projects and initiatives that improve commercial performance and the effectiveness of the finance function.
  • Operate in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change and commercial agility is essential.

What you'll bring:

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
  • Proven experience in a Finance Business Partnering, Management Accounting or commercially focused finance role.
  • Strong commercial awareness and the confidence to challenge and influence senior stakeholders.
  • Experience working closely with non-finance teams and translating financial data into commercial decisions.
  • A proactive, ambitious and solutions-focused approach — someone who sees an opportunity and goes after it.
  • Strong analytical skills, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to understand the story behind the numbers.
  • Comfortable working at pace and managing multiple priorities.
  • A genuine interest in the wider business, with the curiosity to understand what drives performance rather than simply reporting the numbers.
  • A hands-on, collaborative approach and the confidence to make an impact from day one.
