Job description

Some finance roles tell the business what happened.

This one gives you the exposure to influence what happens next.

Supporting senior operational leaders across a complex, multi-site region, you'll turn trading data into practical action uncovering revenue opportunities, challenging unnecessary costs and helping leaders understand what needs to change.

This isn't a first step into business partnering. You'll already have operated as a genuine Finance Business Partner, building relationships with non-finance leaders, challenging decisions and using insight to improve commercial performance.

Now, you're looking for more exposure.

What's in it for you?

You'll work across different locations, revenue streams, cost areas and commercial challenges, developing a broad understanding of how a large business operates.

You’ll also benefit from:

• Direct access to senior operational leaders
• The chance to influence revenue, cost and overall performance
• Variety beyond the usual month-end cycle
• Opportunities to learn from a large, experienced finance team
• Genuine scope for longer-term development
• Hybrid working from the Newcastle office
• Flexible benefits, including additional leave and healthcare options

Where will you make an impact?

• Turning financial and operational data into clear actions
• Spotting trends, risks and commercial opportunities
• Challenging budgets, forecasts, staffing costs and operational spend
• Helping leaders improve performance across their locations
• Reviewing KPIs and benchmarking results
• Improving forecasting and business planning
• Sharing insight and best practice across the organisation

What will you bring?

You’ll be an ACA, ACCA or CIMA-qualified accountant with:

• Proven Finance Business Partnering experience
• Strong commercial analysis, budgeting and forecasting skills
• Experience influencing and constructively challenging senior stakeholders
• The ability to explain finance clearly to non-finance teams
• Strong Excel skills and, ideally, some Power BI experience
• Experience in a fast-paced, multi-site environment would be particularly valuable.

You’ll already know how to business partner. What we're looking for now is commercial instinct, curiosity and the fire in your belly to keep learning.
