• Partner with Operational functions (e.g. Logistics, Warehouse, Customer Experience) to understand cost drivers, efficiency opportunities, and investment decisions.

Forecasting, Budgeting and Planning

• Lead the budgeting and reforecasting processes for all functional areas, aligning plans with strategic goals and operational realities.
• Support long-term planning through data modelling, scenario planning, and business case development.

Reporting and Analysis

• Develop and deliver regular reporting packs and dashboards tailored to different stakeholders' needs.

About you

• You will be a qualified accountant (CIMA/ACCA/ACA or equivalent).
• Proven experience in a Finance Business Partner or Commercial Finance role, ideally in a fast-paced, multi-functional environment (retail experience beneficial).
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the confidence to influence at all levels.
