This role is being recruited as a 12-month fixed term contract to cover maternity leave.

The role also offers hybrid working (two days per week in the office) from our Support Office in Handforth, Cheshire.

What You'll Do:

• Lead budgeting, forecasting and long-term planning for store operations
• Deliver insightful financial reporting and performance analysis
• Partner with senior retail leaders to influence strategic decisions
• Build business cases for investment and support key operational projects
• Lead and develop a small, high-performing finance team

What We're Looking For:

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with strong FP&A experience
• Proven business partnering skills with senior stakeholders
• Advanced Excel and financial modelling expertise
• Strong commercial acumen and analytical mindset
• Retail or multi-site experience is a plus

We take our inspiration from pets in embracing people from all walks of life, and we value, respect and celebrate difference. We encourage our people to be their best selves so that we can create a better world for Pets, our Planet and People. Our ambition is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and we are intentional in addressing and removing barriers to create opportunities for the exceptional talent and potential in our communities. Even if your skills and experience don't perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!

Why Join Us?

At Pets at Home, we're more than a retailer-we're a community of pet lovers. You'll join a collaborative, values-driven team where your insights will make a real impact on our stores and the pets (and people!) we serve.

Ready to make a difference? Apply now and help shape the future of pet care retail.
