Job description

Company Description

12 Month FTC
PortmanDentex is one of the largest dental groups in the UK & Ireland - we are here to reimagine group dentistry and wellness.

Our values are based on celebrating individuality, aiming higher and growing together - these values bind us together and sit at the heart of everything we do. Without them, we wouldn't have the caring, rewarding and inspiring culture we've carefully cultivated. One that enables happier and healthier futures for all our clinicians, colleagues and patients.

Job Description

We're looking for a collaborative and insightful Commercial Finance Business Partner to join our team and support central function leaders with thoughtful financial guidance.

In this role, you'll lead budgeting, forecasting, and planning efforts that align with our broader business goals, while helping teams make confident, informed decisions. You'll bring clarity to complex financial data, turning it into meaningful insights for non-financial stakeholders, and play a key role in monitoring spend, headcount, and initiatives. With a strong focus on governance and cost control, you'll also help identify opportunities for efficiency and support ongoing optimisation programmes. If you enjoy being a trusted advisor and making a real impact across diverse teams, we'd love to hear from you.
