Finance Business Partner: Off Trade

Function: Finance

Location: London (nr. Oxford Street) or Edinburgh (St Andrew Square) – a mix of office and home working

Salary: £60k - £70k + performance bonus + Flexible benefits (15% of base salary can be taken as cash, benefits, or a mix of both plus full benefits listed below)

Contract: 12‑month Fixed Term Contract

Closing Date: Sunday 7th December 2025. Please note we may close vacancies early where we receive significant numbers of applications, so don't delay!

As the UK's leading pub, cider, and beer business, we are home to some of the world's best‑loved ciders and beers, and a leading player in the international drinks industry. But there's so much more to HEINEKEN than meets the eye.

In our Commercial Finance team, we play a critical role in helping the business deliver both the Off Trade and the Total Business's objectives through business partnering with the commerce team, providing robust and insightful reporting and proactive management of the commercial cost base and balance sheet.

About the role

Reporting to the Off Trade Finance Manager, your primary responsibilities will be to partner with colleagues across Front Line Sales and Finance to provide first‑class business partnering, performance management, planning and value‑added insight.

You’ll lead the planning processes for the Off Trade, building and reviewing the financial forecast based on the sales forecast, and will be responsible for delivery of the monthly governance cycle, protecting the business and ensuring robust governance and focus on our key revenue objectives.

You’ll support customer JVCA conversations to optimise investment whilst partnering and challenging stakeholders to support great commercial decision‑making.

The finance controller will have line‑management responsibility for one finance analyst and will be responsible for coaching and an ongoing development plan.

Who we’re looking for

As a qualified accountant you will have 5+ years’ experience in finance. You will have evidence of influencing decisions which have improved business results and will be commercially aware with experience in identifying and shaping opportunities and risks and delivering financial targets. You will have strong technical finance controlling skills, an excellent relationship‑building track record and natural problem‑solving abilities.

• Are able to build solid relationships and influence stakeholders.
• Have a proactive and positive attitude.
• Can navigate robustly through a fluid and fast‑moving commercial environment.
• Have a keen interest in and would like to learn more about the Off‑Trade.

This could be the role for you!

Our Ways of Working

Our office sites operate a hybrid model. You’ll spend Tuesdays, Thursdays and one other day in the office and two days from home, although you are more than welcome to come and work from the office on those days too.

The Good Stuff!

In addition to your base salary, you’ll also receive:

• Discretionary Annual bonus
• Flexible benefits (15% of base salary can be taken as cash, benefits, or a mix of both)
• Company funded Private Medical Healthcare
• Double matched pension contributions (up to 10%)
• 35 days holiday (with the opportunity to buy/sell)
• A monthly case of our delicious ciders and beers!
• Exciting opportunities to develop your career

You’ll also get the opportunity to join colleague networks, where people from across the business connect to champion diversity, equity and inclusion, ensuring we give people a voice.
