Commercial Finance | Inventory‑Led Business | Strategic Business Partner

 Are you a commercially minded FP&A Manager who enjoys being close to the numbers and close to the business?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well‑established, nationally recognised consumer brand that has achieved significant growth and success in a fast‑moving, inventory‑led environment. The business combines heritage, creativity and ambition with a modern, data‑driven approach – and finance plays a central role in shaping what comes next.

Reporting to the Finance Director, this role is about looking forward: identifying trends, risks and opportunities, turning data into insight, and helping senior leaders make better decisions. You’ll be trusted, visible and influential – not just reporting performance but actively improving it.

The Role:

·       As FP&A Manager, you will lead the budgeting and forecasting process while acting as a true business partner to commercial and operational teams.

·       Key responsibilities include:

·       Leading the annual budget and managing rolling forecasts, adapting quickly to trading performance and market conditions

·       Translating merchandising and sales forecasts into robust financial plans, with real ownership of stock‑related assumptions

·       Providing clear insight into what happened, why it happened and what will happen next – with practical, commercial recommendations

·       Building long‑range plans, scenarios and business models to support growth, investment and new initiatives

·       Partnering closely with non‑finance leaders to help them understand the financial impact of their decisions

·       Driving automation, efficiency and smarter reporting across finance tools and processes

·       Managing and developing a Finance Analyst, setting high standards and clear accountability

·       What We’re Looking For:

·       This role will suit a proactive FP&A professional who enjoys pace, complexity and commercial challenge.

It is essential that you have:

·       Experience operating at FP&A Manager level (or equivalent) in a stock‑driven, fast‑paced environment – specifically consumer goods, ecommerce, retail, fashion

In addition:

·       Strong background in budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling, with confidence handling large datasets

·       Excellent Excel skills alongside experience with BI tools and ERP systems

·       A pragmatic, engaging communication style, able to influence non‑finance stakeholders

·       Exposure to using automation or AI tools to streamline analysis and reduce manual workload (a plus)

·       An accounting qualification (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) is welcomed but not essential

Why Join?

·       Join a respected national brand with a strong reputation and ambitious growth plans

·       Work in a genuinely commercial FP&A role, embedded in decision‑making

·       High visibility with senior stakeholders and real opportunity to influence outcomes

·       The chance to modernise, automate and shape how finance supports the business

·       A culture that values pragmatism, collaboration and thoughtful challenge

On Offer:

·       £70k - £90k Basic salary

·       Hybrid working

If you’re an FP&A Manager who enjoys stock, thrives on insight rather than reporting, and wants to make a visible impact in a successful, evolving business, this role offers exactly that.
