Our Finance team provides the insights that drive smart, strategic decisions across KP Snacks. From budgeting and forecasting to reporting and cost management, they ensure we remain financially strong and growth-ready.

As KP continues to grow, the Commercial Finance team must flex to support broader strategic initiatives. With current roles focused on day-to-day support for Sales and Marketing, we’re now seeking a Commercial Finance Analyst to lead high-impact, insight-driven projects.

This role is key to unlocking deeper commercial analysis, identifying opportunities, and supporting strategic decision-making. You’ll work cross-functionally, lead financial analysis, and influence performance through clear, actionable insight.

We're looking for a commercially sharp, qualified finance professional with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.

What’s in it for you?

We believe in giving back and making sure you're happy and thriving. Here's a taste of what we offer:

7.5% bonus scheme – with an excellent track record of over-achievement

Comprehensive Healthcare Support – Access to a Medicash Health Cash Plan or Private Healthcare, including a Digital GP service, Best Doctors (Second Medical Opinion Service), and specialist Cancer Care for peace of mind when you need it most.

What will you be doing?

Lead strategic financial analysis projects to uncover insights and support key business initiatives, particularly those requiring deeper commercial investigation.

Analyse logistics and product costs, identifying customer-specific cost drivers and opportunities for margin improvement.

Standardise and enhance commercial finance reporting, delivering clear, actionable insights to support decision-making across the business.

Act as a finance business partner to the Shopper Marketing team, providing financial guidance and challenge to optimise performance.

Support the wider Commercial Finance function by making recommendations that inform strategic decision-making, without direct ownership of final decisions.

Who are we?

Glad you asked! We're KP Snacks, proud to be part of the Intersnack family. Picture this: over 15,000 of us, spread across more than 30 countries, all working together to create the snacks you love. From Hula Hoops to McCoy's, we're the team behind your favourite munchies.

Here in the UK, we're about 2,400 strong, spread across seven factories and our Slough HQ. But don't let our size fool you – we're as close-knit as they come. We believe in speaking our minds, celebrating our differences, and pushing boundaries together.

Diversity isn't just a buzzword for us. We're on a mission to create a workplace where everyone belongs. So, even if you don't tick every box, we want to hear from you! Your unique perspective could be just what we need. Also, if there's anything we can do to make this process easier for you, just give us a shout.

We’d love to hear from you if you can demonstrate the following knowledge, skills and experience:

Qualified finance professional with a recognised accountancy qualification and 5+ years' experience in Commercial Finance (degree desirable but not essential).

Strong analytical and technical skills, including financial modelling, forecasting, and advanced proficiency in Excel, Qlik, and Power BI.

Commercially astute with a solid understanding of market dynamics, pricing, and cost structures, paired with a strategic yet hands-on approach.

Effective project and stakeholder manager, able to juggle multiple initiatives while influencing and collaborating cross-functionally.

Excellent communicator and proactive problem-solver, capable of presenting insights clearly and driving results in a fast-paced environment.
