Description du poste

Senior Finance Business Partner (Commercial)

London Area, United Kingdom (Hybrid)

Are you a qualified commercially minded Finance Business Partner who enjoys influencing decisions, challenging assumptions and helping businesses grow, rather than simply reporting on performance?

Join an established, technology-led business that is investing in building a more commercially focused finance function.

We're partnering with a well-established, internationally backed organisation operating in a fast-moving, combining technology, data and a strong customer proposition to support an extensive portfolio of corporate and business clients.

The business is entering an exciting phase of development, with a clear focus on strengthening commercial performance, improving profitability and using data more effectively to drive decision-making.

They're now looking to appoint a Senior Finance Business Partner (Commercial) to play a key role in building out a dedicated Commercial Finance Business Partnering function.

This isn't a role focused simply on producing reports, explaining variances or managing the budgeting process.

You'll be working directly with commercial leadership, influencing pricing, customer profitability, revenue growth and strategic decisions across multiple business segments.

You'll also have the opportunity to help shape how commercial finance operates, developing stronger relationships, improving commercial insight and bringing greater financial discipline to decision-making.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact rather than simply inherit an established way of working.

The Opportunity

You'll work closely with the Head of Commercial Finance, joining at an important stage as the business develops a more dedicated and influential commercial finance partnering capability.

The role will support several B2B revenue streams, working directly with Sales, Pricing, Account Management and senior commercial stakeholders.

You'll take ownership of the commercial assumptions underpinning forecasts and budgets, helping the business understand not just what is happening financially, but why it's happening and what should be done differently.

Working alongside dedicated FP&A and Data & Analytics teams, you'll have access to the reporting and information needed to focus your time on commercial analysis, strategic thinking and influencing decisions.

There's also a clear opportunity to improve how the business understands customer economics, evaluates commercial opportunities and measures performance.

What you'll be doing

Commercial Finance & Business Partnering

• Act as a trusted finance partner to senior commercial leadership across multiple B2B business segments.
• Provide forward-looking insight into revenue, margins, customer performance and commercial opportunities.
• Challenge commercial assumptions and help stakeholders understand the financial implications of their decisions.
• Work closely with Sales, Pricing and Account Management to improve commercial performance.
• Translate financial information and complex data into clear, actionable recommendations.
• Help develop financial understanding and commercial accountability across the wider business.

Pricing, Profitability & Commercial Modelling

• Lead financial modelling and scenario analysis to support commercial and strategic decisions.
• Analyse customer and account profitability, pricing structures and cost-to-serve.
• Support pricing decisions, tenders, commercial contracts and new business opportunities.
• Evaluate business cases and investment opportunities, challenging assumptions and assessing potential returns.
• Identify opportunities to improve margins, optimise commercial performance and support profitable growth.
• Track the financial benefits of commercial initiatives and help ensure expected outcomes are delivered.

Forecasting, Performance & Commercial Insight

• Own the commercial assumptions feeding into budgets and forecasts, working closely with FP&A.
• Analyse performance against plan, identifying emerging risks, opportunities and trends.
• Work alongside Data & Analytics to turn reporting and performance information into meaningful commercial insight.
• Help develop commercial KPIs and performance frameworks that support better decision-making.
• Build a more forward-looking approach to commercial finance, moving beyond historical reporting.
• Support the continued development of the commercial finance partnering function.

What we're looking for

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Strong experience within commercial finance, finance business partnering or a commercially focused FP&A position.
• Proven ability to influence senior non-finance stakeholders and challenge commercial decisions.
• Strong financial modelling and scenario analysis experience.
• Good understanding of revenue, margins, pricing and customer profitability.
• Experience supporting commercial contracts, tenders or pricing decisions within a B2B or multi-segment business.
• Ability to translate complex financial information into clear commercial recommendations.
• Strong Excel and analytical capabilities, ideally with exposure to data and analytics teams.
• Experience supporting budgeting, forecasting and commercial performance management.
• A track record of improving processes, developing insight or helping businesses make better commercial decisions.

Experience within a service-led, technology-enabled, B2B or commercially complex organisation would be particularly relevant.

However, we're equally interested in candidates from other sectors who can demonstrate strong commercial thinking, stakeholder engagement and an ability to influence business performance.

The type of person who will thrive

We're looking for someone who enjoys being close to the business and wants their work to influence what happens next.

You'll be naturally curious, commercially sharp and comfortable asking questions that challenge established thinking.

You'll enjoy building relationships with people outside finance, understanding what drives their decisions and helping them see the financial implications.

You'll also be someone who enjoys building and improving things.

With the commercial finance partnering function continuing to develop, there is an opportunity to shape processes, strengthen reporting frameworks and establish how Finance works with commercial leadership.

You don't necessarily need to already hold the title of Senior Finance Business Partner.

We're equally interested in strong Finance Business Partners, Commercial Finance Managers or commercially focused FP&A professionals who are ready to take on greater ownership, visibility and influence.

You’ll thrive in an environment where you can combine analytical thinking with commercial judgement, work collaboratively with ambitious stakeholders and see the direct impact of your contribution.

The Package

• Salary up to £85,000, depending on experience
• Bonus
• Hybrid working, based in Central London

If you're looking for a commercial finance opportunity where you can move beyond reporting, influence senior stakeholders and play a meaningful role in shaping how a business makes decisions, we'd love to hear from you.
