The Opportunity

We're looking for a commercially minded

Commercial Finance Business Partner to help shape how we grow, invest and make decisions across Wingstop UK & Ireland.

This isn't just about producing reports and updating spreadsheets. It's about getting under the skin of our performance, understanding what drives our sales and profitability, and turning data into decisions that make a real difference.

You'll partner with teams across Finance, Operations, Growth and Marketing, supporting everything from budgeting and forecasting to campaign evaluation and test-and-learn activity. You'll help us understand what works, what doesn't and where the biggest opportunities lie, making sure our commercial decisions are backed by insight, not guesswork.

If you're naturally curious, love joining the dots between numbers and real-world performance, and want to build your commercial influence in a fast-paced, growing brand, this is your chance to make an impact.

What You'll Be Doing

Own the numbers: Lead sales budgeting and forecasting, working closely with Finance, Operations, Growth and Marketing to build a clear picture of performance and what's coming next.

Turn data into decisions: Deliver insightful reporting, analysis and recommendations that help stakeholders understand performance, spot opportunities and take action.

Make testing count: Support the design and evaluation of multi-site and customer tests, helping teams define success measures, interpret results and apply learnings to future decisions.

Understand what drives growth: Assess promotional and campaign performance, including sales uplift, cannibalisation, margin impact and ROI, to identify what delivers profitable growth.

Get under the skin of performance: Analyse sales, customer behaviour, channel mix, delivery, campaigns and site-level results to uncover trends, risks and opportunities.

Partner across the business: Work with Marketing, Operations and external partners to challenge assumptions, evaluate investment and align commercial activity with profitability targets.

Keep learning and improving: Bring fresh thinking to how we analyse performance, approach experimentation and use data to make better commercial decisions.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who combines strong analytical capability with commercial curiosity. You don't just want to know what happened; you want to understand why, what it means and what we should do next.

You'll bring:

• A curious, analytical mindset and exceptional attention to detail, with a genuine interest in what drives commercial performance.


• The ability to work with large datasets, make sense of complex information and turn it into clear, actionable insight.


• Commercial judgement, balancing customer response, sales growth, profitability and long-term brand value.


• Confidence communicating findings and challenging constructively with stakeholders outside Finance.


• A collaborative approach, with the ability to bring people together around evidence, testing and better decision-making.


• An interest in customer behaviour, market trends and the wider factors influencing business performance.


• A desire to keep developing your skills and broaden your commercial exposure in a high-growth, cross-functional environment.

Skills & Experience

• A recognised finance qualification (ACCA, CIMA, ACA or equivalent), or a background in marketing econometrics.


• Experience in finance, commercial analysis, insight, FP&A or a similar analytical role, including reporting, budgeting, forecasting and performance measurement.


• Experience evaluating test-and-learn activity, with the confidence to draw sensible conclusions when control groups, sample sizes or testing conditions aren't perfect.


• Strong Excel skills, including working with large datasets, maintaining models and updating dashboards.


• The ability to analyse sales, operational and commercial performance and present clear findings to non-finance stakeholders using PowerPoint.


• Experience in a multi-site QSR, food service or consumer retail business.


• Experience working with customer, transaction, channel, digital or delivery-partner data.


• Familiarity with Power BI, Tableau or other data visualisation tools, or the appetite to develop these skills.


• An interest in emerging analytical techniques, including testing and evaluating AI models.

What You'll Get

• Up to £65,000 salary, depending on experience.


• 20% annual bonus, with stretch opportunity, plus eligibility for our LTIP programme from your first year.


• 25 days' annual leave, plus bank holidays and your birthday off.


• Enhanced sick pay and family-friendly leave.


• Private healthcare and a 3% employer pension contribution.


• Company laptop and phone.


• Business mileage allowance.


• Access to our benefits platform, with lifestyle savings, recognition and wellbeing support through our Employee Assistance Programme.
