Step into a role where data meets decision‑making. As a Financial Analyst, you’ll sit at the heart of our commercial performance, turning numbers into insight, and insight into action. This is an opportunity for someone who thrives in the detail, is naturally curious, and wants to partner with senior stakeholders to influence real business outcomes. If you’re driven, analytical and eager to build your career in a fast‑paced retail environment then this is the place to do it.
Why This Role?
- Commercial Impact from Day One: Work closely with senior stakeholders, providing meaningful insights that influence sales performance across multiple markets.
- Data to Decisions: Go beyond reporting – you’ll analyse trends, spot risks and opportunities, and bring the story behind the numbers to life.
- Business Partnering at Scale: Act as a key link between Finance and Field teams, helping non‑finance stakeholders understand performance and drive action.
- A Platform to Grow: Build core financial, analytical and stakeholder management skills in a high‑performing, supportive environment.
What’s In It For You:
- A role where your analysis directly impacts business performance.
- Exposure to senior stakeholders and cross‑functional teams.
- Hands‑on experience across forecasting, reporting and performance analysis.
- Opportunities to develop your technical and commercial skill set.
- A fast‑paced, collaborative environment that values curiosity and initiative.
What We’re Looking For:
- Strong analytical skills with a high level of attention to detail.
- A natural curiosity, you enjoy understanding the “why” behind the numbers.
- Confidence working with data (Excel essential; Power BI a plus).
- Ability to communicate insights clearly to both finance and non‑finance stakeholders.
- Good understanding of core financial concepts (e.g. P&L, forecasting, variance analysis).
- Proactive, driven and keen to develop in a commercial finance role.
- Ability to stay organised and prioritise in a fast‑paced environment.
About The Role:
This isn’t just a reporting role, it’s an opportunity to become a true commercial partner to the business. You’ll support sales performance analysis across multiple markets, tracking key metrics and identifying trends that drive decision‑making. From building dashboards and analysing performance, to supporting forecasting and influencing field teams, your work will help shape how the business performs. You’ll collaborate closely with Finance, Area Managers and senior leaders, translating complex data into clear, actionable insight. If you’re detail‑driven, commercially minded and excited by the idea of partnering with stakeholders to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
