Reporting to the Head of Commercial Development, this role goes beyond reporting, focusing on partnering with the Sales and Operations teams to develop models and provide insights that support trading decisions.

• Partnering with Sales and Operations to deliver insights and analysis on customer and product profitability, trading terms, promotions, and range decisions
• Developing robust commercial models, including scenario planning, to evaluate agreements and guide decision-making
• Supporting the month-end commercial performance cycle through the preparation and sharing of monthly results and performance reporting packs with clear analysis, commentary and recommendations
• Integrating commercial insights into forecasting and the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process
• Tracking and validating customer rebates and funding claims, ensuring accuracy and alignment with contracts
• Supporting the budgeting and planning cycle through commercial analysis, reporting and performance tracking
• Provide ad-hoc commercial and financial analysis to support business initiatives and decision-making
• Contribute to improving commercial reporting, insight, and governance across the Ireland, Europe, Wholesale and On Premise channels

What you’ll bring:

We are looking for a commercially minded analyst who enjoys digging into data to tell the story and guide smarter decisions. To succeed, you will bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Economics, or a related field
• Part-Qualified or Fully Qualified Accountant (CIMA/ACCA) with 2–4 years’ experience in commercial finance, FP&A, or financial analysis (FMCG/retail preferred)
• Strong modelling and advanced Excel skills
• Analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into clear insights and recommendations
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, comfortable partnering with stakeholders across the business
• Collaborative, proactive approach with the ability to work across time zones and markets

What we offer:

We're proud to offer a strong benefits package that we know can make a big difference to work life and life outside of work.

• Primary carer parental leave offering 26 weeks paid leave
• Loyalty leave
• Work from Anywhere benefit, offering flexibility to work remotely
• Birthday leave
• Further education and study support
• Mental health and wellbeing training and support
