• Your Success – work alongside passionate individuals who are committed to supporting your career ambitions, drive, and success.
• Your Impact – we want you to make a meaningful, lasting impact for you, for your colleagues, and for the business.

About The Role.

In every role, McCainers are ambitious, curious, and interested in helping each other create good work experiences. We think about the customer and make doing business with McCain easy.

Step into a pivotal role at the heart of our Foodservice Division, where commercial finance meets strategic influence. At McCain, we’re proud to deliver more than just great food – we power bold, insightful decision-making through financial expertise and meaningful business partnership.

We’re looking for a Senior Commercial Finance Business Partner to join our high-performing team and play a lead role in driving performance, challenging commercial decisions, and shaping the future of our Foodservice sales channels.

Accountabilities.

Acting as a trusted advisor to the VP Commercial and Foodservice Directors, you’ll be a key member of the divisional leadership team – not just observing from the sidelines but shaping strategy, influencing direction, and ensuring commercial rigor. You’ll take ownership of financial reporting, pricing controls, and performance analysis while leading a small but mighty team of finance business partners.

You’ll also bring a critical eye to new propositions, provide robust analysis on customer investment, and guide senior stakeholders through opportunity, risk, and everything in between.

Qualifications & Skills.

• A solid background in commercial accountancy, with several years under your belt
• A track record of working confidently with internal stakeholders and building strong partnerships
• Exposure to a commercial function within an FMCG environment (a bonus, but not a dealbreaker)
• Sharp judgement when it comes to assessing commercial opportunities and their long-term financial impact
• A recognised professional accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
• Confidence in analysing and clearly reporting financial performance
• A strong understanding of financial controls and how to put them into action
• A keen eye for numbers — you can interpret, analyse and explain financial results with ease
• Solid Excel skills (at least intermediate level)
• Confidence in identifying and managing financial risk
• A proactive, agile mindset — you\’re comfortable driving change where needed
• Integrity and credibility — someone others turn to for sound advice
• Leadership that inspires and engages, with the ability to influence at all levels
• Clear, effective communication – both written and verbal
• A knack for negotiation, influence and problem-solving

Leadership Principles.

Our principles, each with related practices, guide our actions across the organisation. Together, they address how McCain interacts with our customers and employees, and how we work as individuals and collectively to find success. While each role adheres to the Leadership Principles, individual roles may focus more on a specific principle or principles.

We are customer obsessed. Customers are our starting point. By understanding their needs and leveraging data and consumer insights, we drive mutual success.

We think big and plan ahead. Through ambition, curiosity, and smart risks, we can accomplish goals, refine processes, and innovate to scale success.

We bring out the best in our people. We create safe spaces for our people so that trust and empowerment come naturally. Inclusion is about listening first, showing humility, and working together.

We act like owners. Together, we clear obstacles and do the work that makes us all successful and proud to be part of McCain.

Location.

Being in the office every single day is a thing of the past. Here at McCain, we champion hybrid working. This means we don’t have a set expectation of exactly when you need to be in the office – however we do encourage our full-time, office-based people to connect in person with others for around half of their working time as that’s the best way for us to build and maintain our connections. Our head office (Customer Experience Centre) is on the outskirts of Scarborough – 1.5 hours away from Leeds City Centre, and about an hour from York. We have lots of colleagues who travel to and from our Experience Centre (even if it is just for a good coffee!) and because hybrid really does mean hybrid at McCain, they get the opportunity to collaborate with their colleagues when they’re in the office, and balance that with working from home to ensure they get a good life-work balance.

The Benefits Of Working For McCain.

Although we do encourage you to taste the goods you’ll be pleased to know we don’t pay you in ‘chips’. For working hard, you’ll also get a great salary and some pretty good benefits including:

• A generous Car Allowance
• An achievable yearly bonus based on personal performance.
• An excellent pension where we will pay double what you do, up to a maximum of 12% of your pay
• Flexible holidays – where you can buy & sell up to 5 days holiday per year
• Optional health cash plan
• Cycle to work scheme
• ‘Chips In’ Volunteering Day Off – to make a positive impact to the competitiveness, resilience, and long-term development of McCain communities across the globe

And of course, being part of a Global business there are great opportunities to shine/thrive should you wish to relocate in the future. We have an ambitious 5-year growth plan that presents development & progression opportunities for those who seek it out.

The McCain Experience.

We are McCain: this statement is about our power collectively and our importance individually—your impact is a significant part of the business. Our winning culture focuses on authenticity and trust so we can always bring out the best in our people. Here, you have the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive while being yourself. Join our team to see why we’re better together.
