Job description

As part of our company strategy to be the Number One Local Pub Company and Employer of Choice, we’re searching for an ambitious Junior Finance Business Partner to join our Finance team and support the Finance Business Partners at key Operations meetings, providing financial insight and ownership of specific areas and regions of the business.

Reporting into the Senior Finance Manager, this is an ideal opportunity for a newly CIMA Qualified candidate or someone in the final stages of the CIMA qualification. Enjoying full support from an experienced Finance team, the role is hands-on, and you should enjoy working at pace in a lively environment. You will have plenty of opportunity to demonstrate how you can turn complex information into meaningful insights that help drive business performance.

This is a hybrid role, based partly at Marston’s modern offices in central Wolverhampton with some travel required across our pub estate. Applicants must hold a full UK driving licence.

Could you:

1. Support the Finance Business Partners at key Operations meetings, providing financial insight and ownership of specific areas and regions of the business.
2. Take ownership of various cost lines including period end reporting and analysis.
3. Ensure invoices for key cost lines are approved in a timely manner.
4. Support the monthly forecasting and annual budgeting processes.
5. Analyze and interpret data into a ‘reader-friendly’ format to be shared with others.
6. Develop a relationship with the Operations team to become a point of contact for financial queries and provide day-to-day support.
7. Present and communicate financial information to Operations and other stakeholders as the role develops.

We are looking for:

1. Newly CIMA Qualified or in the latter stages of Part Qualified (Level 3 - Strategic Level).
2. The ability to meet tight deadlines on a weekly and monthly basis.
3. Excellent communication, analytical, and presentation skills.
4. Strong IT skills, particularly Excel and other Microsoft packages. Experience with SAP would be beneficial, but full training will be provided.
5. A full UK Driving Licence is desirable, as travel to meetings and pubs will be required.

What you get from us:

At Marston’s, we put our people first, which is why we offer real benefits alongside the expected, including:

• Apprenticeship programmes offering training & development at any stage of your career.
• Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Leave (subject to 26 weeks' service at 15 weeks prior to EWC).
• 30% off in Marston’s pubs and 20% off accommodation through our privilege card.
• Marston’s Cheers Platform (discounts on many high street and online major retailers).
• Share save incentive scheme.
• Employee assistance programme, including various wellbeing support services, a confidential 24/7 helpline, up to 6 counselling sessions, and more online services.

Come as you are. Personality and passion are so important. No judgment on where you’ve come from, or your story to date, just a need for the right attitude and an ambition that matches ours. We’ll accept you and celebrate you for being you.

We can’t wait to see what we can make happen together. #MarstonsWherePeopleMakePubs
