Make your next move into a business that’s always moving forward

At Ocado Logistics, we’re on a mission to power the future of online grocery – and finance is at the heart of our story. As a Finance Analyst in our dynamic team, you'll have the chance to make a real difference from day one. This is more than just numbers – it’s about driving insight, enabling growth, and helping shape the success of a unique, fast-paced operation that serves the UK’s most advanced online grocery business.

We’re looking for a curious, commercially minded, and confident Finance Analyst to join our team of 20+ finance professionals supporting our logistics operation – an area that's growing, investing and innovating at pace. Whether you’re newly qualified or on your way there, this is an opportunity to gain exceptional exposure across one of the UK’s most exciting businesses.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is either a qualified accountant with 2–3 years' experience or a part-qualified professional with strong skills in budgeting and forecasting. You could be a previous or current Finance Analyst, Management Accountant, Commercial Finance Analyst, Reporting Finance Analyst or similar.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work closely with our retailer partners, operations teams, and wider finance community to provide meaningful analysis and insight that helps drive key decisions. Your day-to-day will include:

• Partnering with retailer finance teams to provide clear, insightful commentary on performance
• Preparing journals, cost allocations and management reporting for periodic submissions including Ocado Logistics property.
• Supporting budgets and forecasts, acting as a key liaison between Accounting and the retailer
• Building and maintaining financial models to support commercial decision-making
• Reviewing and supporting capital investment requests and controls
• Preparing weekly flash performance reports for the Senior Leadership Team
• Owning end-to-end accounting for property costs in Logistics
• Embedding the right compliance processes and financial standards
• Challenging and supporting business stakeholders to deliver value
• Driving improvements in financial controls and reporting processes

Why this role at Ocado Logistics?

Ocado is more than just a name – it’s a technology powerhouse that has developed the world’s most advanced grocery platform. Our UK Logistics operation sits at the centre of the Ocado Retail partnership, helping deliver seamless online shopping through cutting-edge fulfilment centres and in-store operations.

• Growth business – new sites, new markets, new challenges – and finance plays a key role
• Supportive, ambitious team – we’ll help you grow your capability and your career
• Big on learning – real development opportunities, from technical skills to business partnering
• Flexible working – hybrid model with balance between office and remote

Who we’re looking for

You don’t need to know Ocado inside out – but you do need a head for numbers and a heart for progress. Ideally, you’ll bring:

• CIMA / ACA / ACCA qualified – or part-qualified with strong progress
• Strong Excel skills and financial modelling capability
• Analytical mindset and great attention to detail
• A proactive, flexible approach with the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills – especially with non-finance stakeholders
• Experience of period-end reporting, budgeting or forecasting
• Confidence to challenge assumptions and influence decision-makers
• Experience using Oracle, Hyperion or similar systems

What you can expect to receive in return

• Flexible Work: Enjoy 30 days of 'work from anywhere' policy for a balanced life.
• Private Medical Cover: Rest easy with comprehensive private medical insurance.
• Generous Leave: Begin with 25 days, growing to 27 after 5 years, with an option to buy more.
• Pension Plan: Secure your future with our pension scheme, featuring up to 7% employer contribution matching.
