Senior Finance Business Partner
Up to £80,000 + 10% Bonus + Benefits | Newly Created Role | Luton (Hybrid, 2-3 Days from Home)
Step into one of the most exciting seats in FMCG. Partner directly with commercial leadership at a business that's growing fast and winning industry awards while it does it.
We are partnering with a well established and highly respected specialist distributor to appoint a Commercial Finance Business Partner into a newly created role reporting directly to the Finance Director. This is a business with decades of heritage and a large, premium product portfolio, supplying some of the most prestigious names in hospitality and retail. Privately backed with serious momentum behind it, the business has grown its team by around 50% in the last 18 months alone and recently picked up two major industry awards. This is a business genuinely on the move, and finance is expected to be right in the middle of that momentum.
The Role
This is not a role for anyone who wants to sit behind a spreadsheet. You will be the finance voice inside the commercial operation, working shoulder to shoulder with Sales Directors and commercial leadership to shape pricing, challenge performance and influence decisions that move the business forward. You will report into a Finance Director who is genuinely invested in building a commercial finance function that has real presence and real influence, not just a reporting line. Expect to be backed, challenged and stretched in equal measure.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
