What you’ll do: Being a Finance Manager, EMENA AfH is about so much more than bringing our coffee to the world. It’s your chance to stir up real success - which means you’ll be:

• Lead end‑to‑end DME spend management across the Coca‑Cola system, ensuring robust budget control, accurate tracking and clear insight for senior stakeholders.
• Deliver high‑impact financial reporting and insight, including monthly overheads, weekly sales performance dashboards and variance analysis that drives action.
• Provide commercial and pricing analysis across EMENA markets, translating coffee market movements into clear risks, opportunities and pricing recommendations.
• Partner with FP&A teams to support budgets, forecasts, TM1 submissions and quarterly system settlements, ensuring financial accuracy and consistency.
• Act as a trusted finance business partner to Bottlers, Commercial, BI and Marketing teams, influencing decisions and improving financial performance across a complex, multi‑market environment.

Who you are: It’s your unique ingredients we’re interested in:

• A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or equivalent with at least 3+ years PQE
• Proven experience in a finance role within a large, fast‑paced, customer‑facing or FMCG environment.
• Highly analytical, with advanced Excel skills and the ability to model, interpret and manipulate complex financial data.
• Confident communicator with the ability to translate complex financial insight into clear, compelling messages for non‑finance stakeholders.
• Experienced in commercial finance, budgeting, forecasting and financial performance control, with strong stakeholder management skills.

Where you’ll work: Right now, our Support Centre teams work flexibly, blending home working with in-person time whenever it matters most – whether that’s a team moment, a creative session, or simply coming together to share ideas. We’re excited to be moving into a new home for our brand in St Albans in January 2027 – an inspiring space from which our Support Centre teams will work three days a week to connect and collaborate in-person to bring our bold ambition to life.
