  • Commercial Finance & Unit Economics: Develop profitability frameworks across stores, channels, categories, memberships, and private labels. Analyse pricing, gross margins, promotions, vendor funding, product mix, and customer acquisition economics.
  • Strategic Decision Support: Partner with leadership to evaluate expansion opportunities, new business models, partnerships, pricing strategies, and profitability improvement initiatives.
  • Capital Allocation & Investment Appraisal: Assess investments across store expansion, new formats, supply chain, technology, and strategic projects using ROI, IRR, NPV, payback analysis, and financial scenario modelling.
  • Working Capital & Capital Efficiency: Collaborate with Category, Supply Chain, and Operations teams to improve inventory productivity, cash conversion cycles, working capital efficiency, and return on capital employed (ROCE).
  • Financial Modelling & Analysis: Build robust financial models to assess business performance, evaluate strategic alternatives, identify financial risks, and support data-led decisions.
  • Business Partnering: Act as a trusted finance partner to cross-functional leaders, providing commercial insights and financial recommendations that balance growth, profitability, and operational efficiency.
  • Performance Management: Establish KPIs, dashboards, business review mechanisms, and financial operating processes that improve accountability and visibility across the organisation.
  • Post-Investment Monitoring: Track the financial performance of investments and expansion initiatives against approved business cases, identifying opportunities to improve returns.
  • Process & Framework Development: Build scalable planning, forecasting, reporting, and profitability management systems that support a growing omnichannel business.
  • Leadership Collaboration: Present financial insights, challenge assumptions, and influence strategic decisions through structured analysis and clear communication.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • 5+ years of experience in business finance, strategic finance, commercial finance, or a closely related role.
  • Experience in retail, FMCG, grocery, consumer internet, e-commerce, quick commerce, or omnichannel businesses is strongly preferred.

  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and experience working with ERP systems, BI platforms, and large datasets.
  • Ability to translate complex business challenges into structured financial frameworks and practical recommendations.
  • Strong commercial instincts, analytical thinking, and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Excellent stakeholder-management and communication skills, with the ability to influence without formal authority.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
