Job description

If you're ready for a role where your financial insight genuinely shapes decisions, this Finance Business Partner position could be the career step you've been waiting for.

Instead of simply reporting the numbers, you'll be influencing what happens next, partnering closely with procurement to guide conversations, strengthen data quality and bring clarity to complex commodity driven costs.

You'll work closely with senior leaders who value clarity, foresight and challenge. You'll be trusted to simplify complexity, spot what others don't, and bring a commercial mindset to a fast-paced operational environment.

Role Overview

• Lead finance support for procurement, with a strong focus on commodity driven Purchase Price Variance (PPV) management
• Shape and deliver clear, action focused reporting across procurement and operations
• Provide insight on supplier decisions, PPV movements and commodity trends
• Deliver reliable inventory reporting and forecasting to support planning and operations
• Strengthen internal controls and ensure finance integrity across procurement processes
• Support supplier negotiations through scenario modelling and data driven analysis
• Champion cash consciousness across inventory and creditor activity.

The Ideal Candidate

• Brings experience in, or understanding of, procurement finance / PPV management within a complex, commodity driven business environment
• Confident business partnering with senior stakeholders, including those who can be challenging
• Highly capable working with complex data and systems, able to turn detailed data into clear, commercially focused insight
• Qualified accountant such as CIMA, ACCA or equivalent, although strong qualified by experience candidates will also be considered.
• Also, open to those from Finance Business Partner roles who understand the fundamentals of PPV and want to move into procurement finance.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive base salary plus Bonus
• 25 days holiday, private medical available, pension
• Onsite parking
