Description Overview
Working across the full North region, this role is primarily responsible for leading commercial reporting across brands, categories, countries, and currencies.
The role provides full P&L visibility and insight by bringing together data from multiple reporting systems, including Power Query, Power BI, Workday Adaptive, SAP, and CFIN.
The role requires the development of strong systems knowledge and the ability to become a key expert for internal data resources.
It also requires the ability to work at pace, demonstrating strong time management, planning, and prioritisation skills to ensure deadlines are consistently met and outputs are delivered to a high standard.
Scope of the Role
Monthly Forecasting (IBP)
- Partner with Demand Planning to ensure forecast volumes are well understood, commercially validated, and accurately interfaced between financial systems.
- Support local country reporting and North Cluster consolidations, ensuring key assumptions are correctly loaded into Adaptive each cycle to enable accurate forecasting and clear performance tracking.
- Work closely with Finance Operations teams to understand movements in cost of goods, freight, and related supply chain costs, translating these impacts into clear commercial insight for the business.
- Prepare robust statistical and financial analysis to assess the impact of pricing strategy changes on the regional P&L, highlighting key drivers, risks, and opportunities.
- Collaborate with the Marketing team to improve forecast accuracy for advertising and promotional spend, supporting the team with tracking, explaining, and reporting changes in spend across the forecast cycle.
- Build strong, trusted relationships with the Commercial Finance team in London, wider Finance teams in Dublin, Belgium, and the USA, and the broader Commercial business, ensuring effective collaboration across markets and functions.
- Prepare insightful category-level financial commentary, connecting performance trends to relevant market data to validate key assumptions. Ensure outputs from the IBP cycle are supported by robust commercial and financial assumptions, with a clearly joined-up IBP plan across volume, sales, margin, and cost drivers.

Annual Budgeting
- Support the annual budget cycle from a commercial finance perspective, ensuring the plan is built on robust, clearly documented assumptions across volume, price, mix, margin, cost of goods, freight, advertising, and promotional spend.
- Work alongside the wider Finance community to understand how volume changes impact cost prices, gross margin, freight, and supply chain assumptions, ensuring movements are clearly explained and reflected accurately in the budget.
- Partner with commercial planning teams, including RGM, CSI, Marketing, and Sales, to ensure budget inputs are aligned to category strategies, customer plans, pricing decisions, promotional activity, and market expectations.
- Prepare detailed deep-dive analysis during the planning cycle to challenge and validate key assumptions, identifying material movements, risks, opportunities, and areas requiring further business input.
- Collaborate with commercial business leads to ensure the final budget reflects a joined-up view across countries, brands, categories, and currencies, with clear visibility of the key drivers underpinning the North Cluster plan.
System Expert
- Own the regional numbers presented in Adaptive, ensuring a clear understanding of what has changed, why it has changed, and how key movements impact the commercial forecast and reporting outputs. Build deep knowledge of the system to identify opportunities for process improvement and use this expertise to support and train the wider team.
- Support the business with ad hoc reporting requirements, ensuring internal reporting tools are regularly reconciled to SAP and Power BI to maintain accurate, complete, and consistent reporting to corporate stakeholders.
Experience Required
- Previous experience in FP&A within a fast-paced, commercially focused environment, with a strong understanding of financial planning, forecasting, and performance reporting.
- Strong analytical capability, with a proven ability to interpret and interrogate complex data, perform detailed reconciliations, identify key drivers, and constructively challenge assumptions where results do not align with expectations.
- Confident working across multiple financial and reporting systems, including SAP, Adaptive, Power BI, Power Query, and Visual Fabriq, with the ability to connect data sources and support accurate reporting outputs.
- Able to communicate clearly and effectively with senior and junior stakeholders across finance and non-finance teams, translating financial insight into practical business understanding.
- Proactive, positive, and solution-oriented, with a willingness to take ownership, learn quickly, and contribute to continuous improvement across processes, reporting, and ways of working.
