🧮 Finance Business Partner

📍 East Sussex / Hybrid Working (2-3 days on-site)

💷 £60,000 - £75,000

We're delighted to be exclusively hiring a Finance Business Partner for a well-established business in East Sussex. It's a period of real growth and transformation for them, and this is a newly created role built to give the operational side of the business a proper finance partner rather than a report-writing service.

What you'll be doing:

• Partnering operational teams across the business, interpreting the key drivers of sales, margin, and profitability and translating them into insight people can act on.
• Building high-quality dashboards and reporting across Power BI, Excel, and SQL-based environments, and championing the move to self-serve reporting.
• Owning the supplier income picture end to end, building a tracker covering rebates, bulk discounts, promotional support, and the corresponding debtor position.
• Assessing the impact of proposed changes to supplier trading and rebate terms, and helping shape proposals and counter proposals.
• Reviewing the underlying supplier income processes, identifying weaknesses, and recommending improvements.
• Maintaining the monthly net cost file, reflecting cost price increases and changes to trading terms.
• Supporting pricing reviews, sales by price mechanism, competitor indexing, price elasticity, and cost to match.
• Supporting monthly management accounts with data extraction, variance analysis, and commentary, plus year-end supplier income and the site allocation thereof.
• Identifying training needs across the operational teams and designing and delivering the solutions.
