Commercial Analyst – Finance Team (Hybrid)
FBC UK – Fox's Burton's Companies
Location: London, GB Work Arrangement: Hybrid (Mon–Fri, 37.5 hrs/week) Posting Date: 29 Jun 2026
About FBC UK
We’re FBC UK—the custodians of some of the UK’s best-loved biscuits. By combining Fox’s Biscuits and Burton’s Biscuits, we’ve created a powerhouse bakery with iconic brands like Maryland, Fox’s, Jammie Dodgers, and Rockys. As America’s top biscuit manufacturer backed by PrivateBridge, our eight UK bakeries employ 4,000+ teams across vibrant locations: Isle of Arran, Livingston, Blackpool, Llantarnam, Edinburgh, Kirkham, Batley, Dorset, and our HQ in St Pauls, London.
Our success comes as much from our people as it does from our products. We thrive on innovation, passion, and a humane leadership—whether you’re the "jammy" to our "dodgers" or the catalyst propelling us forward. We foster a workplace where diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) drive impact, and where curiosity is celebrated.
About the Role
Join our Commercial Finance Team as a Commercial Analyst to shape decisions that grow profit and refine financial strategy. You’ll immerse yourself in commercial analysis, financial modelling, and operational reporting, working alongside a team of qualified accountants to understand and influence critical profit drivers like:
- Profit & Loss (P&L) statements
- Cash flow forecasting
- Balance sheet reconciliation
- Trade agreement management
You’ll develop expertise in systems (SAP, Power BI, Oracle, Invest, TM1, and advanced Excel) and deliver actionable insights that influence product launches, pricing, and cross-functional decisions.
This role is perfect for someone with analytical curiosity, a hunger to master finance, and the grit to take on routine reporting and bold projects—like inflation impact analysis or portfolio rationalisation.

- Benchmark cost structures across biscuit segments, challenging inefficiencies and refining inputs for forecasts.
- Workshop with Factory teams to optimize cost estimations, aligning production metrics with financial models.
