Sofina Foods isn't just a food company - It’s a place to build your future.

With a team of over 13,000 people across 40 sites in Canada and Europe, we're passionate about delivering quality meats and seafood products to consumers around the world.

Join a company where innovation, sustainability, and customer satisfaction drive everything we do. At Sofina, you’ll grow your skills, make a real impact, and work with responsibly sourced products from more than 50 protein sources across five continents.

Our vision is bold: to be the most successful food company in the world. If you’re looking for a rewarding career in the food industry, there’s a place for you at Sofina Foods.

Are you a Finance Business Partner or Business Performance Manager ready to step into a senior commercial finance role where your insights shape the direction of a major FMCG business?

At Sofina Foods, we’re looking for a Senior Commercial Finance Manager to work closely with senior stakeholders across our pork division, driving profitability and helping shape strategic decisions across multiple channels—Retail, Foodservice, and Export.

Please note that this role requires a full-time office base at either Malton or Grimsby offices.

This is more than just a finance role—it’s a chance to be at the heart of commercial decision-making, challenging the status quo and influencing change across our business.

You will:

• Deliver high-impact financial analysis to support tenders, promotions, and strategic business planning
• Act as a key strategic finance lead, partnering with commercial and cross-functional teams
• Mitigate inflationary pressures with actionable solutions via sales and category insights
• Improve margin performance through pricing strategy and new product development evaluations
• Provide pre- and post-promotional analysis to guide effective decision-making
• Evaluate raw material alternatives with cost-impact assessments and scenario planning
• Manage customer profitability reporting, offering challenge and support to commercial leads
• Deliver insightful product costing analysis using “what-if” scenarios and margin forecasts
• Support commercial strategies through robust financial modelling and stakeholder engagement
• Lead and contribute to continuous improvement projects with a financial lens

Senior Commercial Finance Manager – Drive Strategic Growth Through Financial Insight

At Sofina, we invest in our people as much as our products. You’ll step into a role with scope, influence, and visibility—where your insights won’t just be noted, they’ll drive change. As part of a collaborative finance community, you’ll have the autonomy to lead, the support to grow, and the opportunity to help shape the future of one of the UK and Ireland’s leading food businesses.
