Job description

We're Beauty Pie. We're the world's first luxury beauty and wellness buyers' club. And we're disrupting the beauty industry, one face cream at a time.

Before we arrived on the scene, if you wanted really great beauty products, you had to shop at traditional beauty retail - and overpay for all the crazy markups. Now, our members have access to shop from the best-quality beauty and wellness products (from the leading labs in France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Japan, Korea, etc) and get a bigger piece of the Beauty Pie.

As a key member of our Commercial Finance team, you'll play a pivotal role in turning complex data into actionable insights, ensuring we're always ahead of the game. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, data-rich environment and is ready to make a real impact.

So, what will you be doing?

• Own and maintain the FP&A reporting engine in terms of optimising reporting workflows and accurate and timely reporting.
• Support the preparation of investor board decks, delivering clear and compelling strategic and financial narratives.
• Support the budgeting & forecasting process, including the annual budget (P&L and cash flow), quarterly re-forecasts, and monthly revenue updates.
• Support the preparation of key business performance review outputs, leveraging both financial and non-financial data to identify the key drivers of performance.
• Partner with budget owners and the management accounting team to proactively identify risks & opportunities, and alert on any material business risks and opportunities.
• Support the Senior Commercial Finance Manager and Head of FP&A with scenario modelling, ad hoc analysis and reporting.
• Participate in cross-functional projects to support the development of our fast-growing business.
• With a keen-eye for process improvements, autonomously drive efficiencies and process upgrades within the commercial finance function
  
  

We believe it's all about mindset, great skills, the right attitude and a fantastic work ethic. If you're aligned to our values, excited about the opportunity, and you're really good at what you do (even if you don't tick all the boxes) apply anyway!

• Qualified ACA/ACCA/CIMA or local equivalent
• Extensive experience in a similar role - e-commerce and/or beauty experience a plus but not required
• A data wizard with a deep understanding of tech stacks typical in fast-growing tech scaleups—fluency with tools like Google Sheets and Google Slides is a big plus.
• Someone who's passionate about working with large, complex datasets and can simplify them into impactful narratives and actionable insights.
• Detail-oriented, with strong modelling skills and demonstrable experience of end to end financial modelling, form commercial inputs to primary statements
• Experience with SQL and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Light Dash), or eager to upskill
• A confident, collaborative communicator who can engage senior stakeholders and lead more junior team members with ease.
• Able to work in a fast-paced environment, and ambition to make a difference to a business going through an exciting period of change and growth
• A self-starter who will own processes from start to finish, make improvements to them and is willing to question the status quo
