Location: Rotherham
Job Description:

£65,000 – £, + ()

If you’re the type of finance person who’s just as comfortable pulling apart a spreadsheet as you are challenging a regional manager on their cost centre performance this is worth a conversation.

You’ll join the finance team of a retail business as Commercial Finance Business Partner, working across regional P&Ls and individual cost centres to give operational leaders the commercial insight they need to actually run their part of the business better – not just report on how it’s already gone.

It’s a role that sits right at the blend of FP&A and business partnering – strong enough with data and forecasting to build the numbers yourself, but commercially credible enough that regional managers actually want you in the room when they’re planning ahead.

  • Strong analytically, with genuine confidence in a spreadsheet.
  • Equally comfortable in a room with non-finance stakeholders as behind a screen.
  • Someone who challenges constructively rather than just presents numbers.
  • Commercially curious – interested in why things are happening, not just that they are.

This is a business with real scale and a finance team that has a track record of developing people into more senior roles – this isn’t a role you’ll be doing the same way in three years’ time if you don’t want to be.

  • Commercial business partnering across regional P&Ls and individual cost centres.
  • Providing insight to regional managers on cost centre performance.
  • Budget management and forecasting insight.
  • Supporting strategic planning alongside the FD.
  • Blending FP&A and data-driven analysis with hands-on business partnering.
  • Strong FP&A / commercial finance background, ideally within a multi-site or retail environment.
  • Confidence presenting insight to non-finance stakeholders.
  • Advanced Excel / data skills.
  • A genuinely commercial mindset – comfortable asking “why” and “what next”.
  • Up to £70,000 basic salary
  • Bonus scheme
  • Enhanced pension
  • Hybrid working
  • A finance team with a strong track record of internal progression
