Job description

We’re looking for someone curious, switched on, and ready to grow. Whether you've studied finance or not, if you've got a good head on your shoulders and a knack for solving problems, we’d love to hear from you.

At PZ Cussons, we make some of the UK’s best-loved brands – think Original Source, Imperial Leather, Sanctuary Spa, Childs Farm and more. We’re a FTSE-250 business with global reach and bold ambitions. From your first day, you’ll be part of the team driving smart decisions and real impact across our business.

What you’ll get stuck into

You’ll get a broad view of finance – working with teams across commercial, brand, supply chain and financial planning to help them make informed decisions based on data and insights. It’s not a graduate role with rigid rotation, but you’ll have the chance to explore different areas based on what you’re great at and where the business needs you.

Some Of The Things You’ll Help With

• Spot trends and join dots – help us forecast and analyse across sales, marketing and supply chain, recommend changes based on these insights
• Collaborate across teams– support reporting, pricing and trade decisions that shape the bigger picture.
• Own your impact – manage key processes that keep our business moving and our marketing spend accurate.
• Bring numbers to life – Create straightforward and clear performance reports that enable teams to respond quickly and remain aligned with objectives.
  
  

Who we’re looking for

This role’s all about potential – not perfection. If you’ve graduated (or will graduate) with a degree, and you’re eligible to work in the UK from the start date, you’re off to a great start.

You Might Be a Great Match If You

• Communicate clearly and confidently – even when it’s a bit uncomfortable
• Collaborate well and know how to bring people with you
• Think ahead, take initiative, and follow through
  
  

It’s a bonus if you have relevant experience from a job, internship, or university project.

What’s in it for you?

We believe work should work for you, so here’s what you’ll get:

• Full CIMA funding and support
• 8–10% employer pension contribution
• Hybrid working; with 3 days a week in our Manchester HQ
• Free on-site gym & personal trainer
• Subsidised meals & unlimited barista coffee
• Discounts on our top brands
  
  

We want our people to reflect the world we live in. That’s why we’re proud to be an equal opportunities employer. Whatever your background, we’re excited about what you bring. If you need extra support to take part in the recruitment process, just let us know.
