Commercial Finance Manager
South West London (Hybrid) | Permanent | Retail & Consumer | Up to £75,000 + Bonus + Benefits
We’re partnering with an exciting, high-growth company to appoint a commercially focused finance professional into a high-impact role supporting the wider business.
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where the culture is collaborative, down to earth and refreshingly non-corporate. The teams are genuinely supportive, hands-on and solutions-focused people, get stuck in and make things happen.
Reporting into senior finance leadership, this role sits at the heart of commercial decision-making across retail and e-commerce performance.
The Opportunity
The purpose of this role is to provide high-quality commercial finance support to the business, helping teams understand performance, optimise profitability and make better-informed decisions.
You’ll be responsible for building and maintaining insightful financial models, delivering meaningful analysis and partnering closely with stakeholders across trading, buying, merchandising and e-commerce.
This role would suit someone who enjoys pace, ownership and working closely with the business rather than sitting purely in the numbers.

*Retail, consumer or multi-site experience highly beneficial
*Strong financial modelling and Excel capability
*Confident communicator able to influence non-finance stakeholders

We’re looking for someone who is:

*Real exposure to senior stakeholders
*Supportive, friendly and high-performing team
*Genuine opportunity to add value and make an impact
If you’re a commercially minded finance professional who enjoys pace, ownership and working closely with the business we’d love to hear from you.
