Dishoom Finance Manager (Numbers Walle)

Our FinTech team plays a big part in how Dishoom runs, and we’re thoughtful about the people we invite into it. That’s why we’re looking for a Finance Manager (our Numbers Walla) who’s not just brilliant with numbers, but genuinely curious about the business behind them. Someone who enjoys digging into detail, asking good questions, and turning data into insight that actually helps people make better decisions. This is a role for someone who likes being close to the action. You’ll work across our restaurants, Delivery Kitchens and Ecommerce channels, partnering with teams in Operations, Marketing and People to help Dishoom keep moving forward.

As our Finance Manager, you’ll play a key role in looking after the financial health of our Delivery and Ecommerce businesses, as well as contributing to day-to-day reporting across Dishoom.

You’ll report to the Strategic Finance Director, helping them drive the business strategy forward while working closely with the Senior Finance Manager to develop your expertise in the role. No two days look quite the same, and that’s very much the point. If you enjoy variety, collaboration and seeing the impact of your work in real time, you’ll feel right at home.

• Working alongside Operations teams to ensure weekly Jantri submissions land on time, reviewing commentary to spot trends and variances, and helping shape actions for improvement.
• Supporting the Cost Controller with Food and Drink Cost of Sales reporting and budgeting across all channels, including inflation and mix analysis.
• Contributing to month-end processes, including P&L reviews, variance analysis and clear, useful commentary.
• Providing ad-hoc commercial analysis and reporting to support decision-making across the wider business.
• Optimising Marketing and People Team budgets through rigorous investment and spend analysis.
