We’re Hiring: Commercial Finance Analyst
Role: Commercial Finance Analyst
Work Arrangement: Work From Office
Location: Philippines - Muntinlupa
Schedule: Morning Shift
Job description:
This is a commercially sharp, modelling-led role that owns the integrity of how we price and govern margin across the business. You'll spend most of your time building business cases, modelling P&L by product line, and giving the commercial and leadership teams clear, defensible reporting on pricing and discounting.
Working closely with the Head of Commercial, you’ll be the custodian of our pricing models and the engine room of the deal desk – the person who can work the levers to balance great sales win rates with great margin. You’ll also own our margin policy framework keeping it accurate as FX, benefits costs, and reserve assumptions change.
The ideal candidate is a management accountant or a commercially-minded product manager with genuine P&L ownership, ideally from the outsourcing, staffing/recruitment, or software sectors, where pricing blends cost build-up, margin layering, and deal-by-deal judgement.
Business case modelling (core of the role)
- Build robust, transparent business case models for new product lines
- Model individual case basis and bespoke pricing where standard rate cards don't fit, and stress-test assumptions for long term factors (margin, redundancy, FX, cost inflation).
- Translate models into clear recommendations for sales and leadership
Pricing & deal desk — model integrity, deal approvals, margin governance
- Own the integrity of all pricing models: version control and a single source of truth the commercial team can trust.
- Track and maintain visibility of market pricing versus pricebook
- Control and report on discounting: track leakage, escalating discounts and recommend guardrails with particular focus on regions and salespeople
P&L by product line
- Work with finance to review P&L by product line, surfacing which products, industry verticals, and clients drive (or dilute) profitability.
- Provide regular reporting and analysis to commercial and finance leadership - with insight, not just numbers, on where to push and where to protect.
Cross-functional partnership
- Partner closely with Sales, Finance, Client Growth and Legal to structure deal business cases and help close business that meets company margin goals.
- Contribute to evolving pricing strategy, pricebooks, and approval frameworks
Qualifications and requirements:
Essential
- A qualified management accountant or a product/commercial manager with demonstrable P&L ownership and strong financial modelling.
- Advanced financial modelling skills - you can build a clean, flexible, auditable model from a blank sheet and defend every assumption in it.
- Strong commercial instinct: comfortable making pricing recommendations and holding the line on margin in front of sales and leadership.
- Excellent Excel and reporting tools (Power BI).
- High attention to detail balanced with the ability to see the commercial story in the numbers.
Highly desirable
- Experience in outsourcing / BPO, staffing or recruitment, finance/banking, or software / SaaS, where pricing combines cost build-up, margin layering, and deal-level judgement.
- Exposure to deal desk, pricing governance, or commercial finance functions.
- Understanding of FX exposure, employment cost structures (benefits, redundancy / severance reserves), and volume-based incentive pricing.
- Experience presenting to and influencing senior stakeholders.
- Experience leveraging AI to fast track commercial modeling
