This is an opportunity for a commercial orientated individual to play a major role in supporting the business through this exciting period of growth. The Commercial Finance Manager is a direct report to the Head of Commercial Finance, and as befits the role, a high-profile member of the finance team in the eyes of the broader organisation.
Commercial Finance Manager
As a member of the Commercial Finance team you will provide financial guidance, challenge and insight to the wider business through sound and informed financial projections and commercially robust business plans. You will take ownership of detailed financial models and lead the production of clear and informed reporting of progress against these plans to drive high levels of commercial awareness across the business.
This is a fast-paced, demanding environment, particular to a business which has the investment backing and aspiration for rapid expansion, but with the infrastructure needed to support that expansion still a work-in-progress.
Responsibilities
These are likely to change significantly over time but a snapshot of some of the current Commercial Finance priorities provide an insight into the breadth of the role:
- Playing a key role in the production of monthly reports to the Board of Directors; coordinating the delivery of inputs from across the business, providing support wherever necessary to ensure deadlines are met and outputs meet the required high standard
- Industrialising the insight into product-level profitability, including developing business cases for investing in new product lines and enabling data-driven decision making
- Working with the broader finance team to produce best-in-class management information, insightful analysis and commentary on financial performance
- Own and develop key dashboards that focus the business on critical leading indicators and KPIs that appraise new customer acquisition and ongoing customer management; whilst implementing low-effort / highly-repeatable processes to ensure they are accurately measured and monitored
About you:
You are likely to be a qualified ACA, having trained with one of the large, international accountancy firms (a Transaction Services background is desirable but not essential), coupled with a number of years of industry experience in a Commercial Finance / FP&A focused role.
Experience of a private-equity environment, M&A, and the technology industry would be beneficial but not a prerequisite.
