• Develop and maintain financial models, forecasts and scenario plans to support strategic decisions, investments and expansion initiatives.
• Act as a primary financial advisor to leadership, providing insight and challenge on commercial and operational strategies.
• Partner with operational and sales leaders to translate metrics into financial insight and improve outcomes.
• Design and maintain KPIs, dashboards and scorecards that clearly show operational performance and progress against growth objectives.
• Drive cost-reduction and efficiency initiatives across overheads, labor and administrative processes without compromising safety or service.
• Maintain strong financial controls, ensure compliance with policies and regulations and support audit processes.
• Monitor cash flow and working capital, supporting inventory, replenishment and route or service efficiency.
• Analyze customer and segment profitability, pricing and margins, and provide financial input into contract negotiations and commercial decisions.
• Along with Sales leaders present information to customers.
• Visit national site locations to provide on-site financial support, review performance and share best practice across operations.

About you

• Solid experience in commercial finance, FP&A or finance business partnering, ideally in a complex, operational or multi-site environment.
• Solid experience managing and developing a team.
• Strong skills in budgeting, forecasting, financial modelling and P&L management.
• A track record of turning data into clear insights that drive action, performance and growth.
• Confidence to challenge assumptions and hold leaders accountable for financial outcomes.
• Good understanding of financial controls, compliance and risk management.
• Clear, engaging communication skills and the ability to explain finance to non-finance stakeholders.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; MBA or professional accounting designation (CPA, CMA, CA) preferred.
