T
he role This is a senior commercial leadership opportunity within a high‑velocity, multi‑billion‑pound consumer organisation operating at national scale. The business is complex, operationally intense and constantly evolving — and finance plays a central role in shaping how it grows, invests and performs.

As Senior Finance Manager, you will sit at the core of strategic and operational decision‑making, acting as a critical advisor to senior leaders. This is not a traditional reporting role — it’s about driving forward commercial outcomes, challenging thinking, and ensuring financial insight is embedded into how the business is run.
You’ll operate across a broad, multi‑site footprint, balancing short‑term performance with long‑term value creation, while leading and developing a high‑performing finance team.

Key accountabilities
  • Acting as lead finance partner to senior operational and commercial leaders, influencing decisions with material financial impact
  • Owning complex end‑to‑end financial planning for a large operational estate, encompassing forecasting, budgeting and scenario modelling
  • Providing clear, forward‑looking insight on revenue, margins, cost drivers, labour and productivity
  • Driving financial rigour into strategic initiatives, investments, pricing decisions and operational change programmes
  • Leading and evolving reporting and insight capabilities to support faster, better quality decision‑making
  • Playing a hands‑on role in major commercial negotiations, ensuring outcomes align with wider business objectives
  • Developing and setting direction for a team of finance professionals, raising commercial capability and standards across the function
  • Acting as a senior voice within the wider finance leadership community, contributing to broader finance transformation and strategy
About you
  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with significant post‑qualification experience
  • Strong track record in senior commercial finance roles within large, complex, customer‑driven organisations
  • Deep experience operating in multi‑site or high‑volume environments where pace and scale matter
  • A proven business partner at senior level — comfortable influencing, challenging and shaping decisions
  • Commercially astute, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and competing priorities
  • Experienced people leader with a genuine interest in building high‑performing teams
  • Confident communicator who can distil complex financial narratives into clear, actionable messages
Why this role stands out
  • Senior‑level influence in a high‑profile, commercially ambitious business
  • Exposure to complex decision‑making at scale
  • Opportunity to shape strategy, performance and capability — not just report on them
  • Competitive package with base salary up to £95k plus bonus
