Commercial Finance Manager Jobs in Greater London, England, United Kingdom at Advocate Group
Title: Commercial Finance Manager
Company: Advocate Group
Location: Greater London, England, United Kingdom
Commercial Finance Role – New Markets Team
Salary: £70,000 – £75,000 plus Bonus
Location: West London (50/50 hybrid split)
This is a newly critical role sitting at the heart of the Africa & Middle East Commercial Development function. You'll own the financial management of the division, acting as the bridge between end markets and the central finance function, making sure P&L reporting is accurate, timely and reconciled at every level.
If you're a commercially minded finance professional who wants ownership of a full division's P&L, not just a seat reporting into one, this is worth a conversation.
What you'll be doing
- Own P&L management across Africa & Middle East, working directly with Business Units to understand financial models and reporting cycles
- Lead monthly reconciliation between the finance function and market level reporting, getting to the root of any discrepancies between actual and reported performance
- Own Value Chain management at market level, guiding local teams on VC construction and approving changes once aligned with the right stakeholders
- Track NSR, COGS and OI performance by market and understand what's driving variance
- Develop Revenue Growth Management (RGM) initiatives that grow value ahead of volume
- Build and implement new financial and VC processes, moving the function from individual driven delivery to a system driven one
- Flag risk to financial commitments early and drive the solutions to mitigate it
What we're looking for
- Proven P&L management experience, ideally gained within an FMCG or consumer goods business (preferred)
- Strong Value Chain and RGM experience
- A track record of financial reporting and business planning in a fast moving, multi market environment
- Confidence operating cross functionally with senior stakeholders across finance and commercial teams
- Strong analytical skills paired with the ability to turn complex data into a simple, clear message
- Self starting and entrepreneurial, comfortable building process where none currently exists
- Advanced Excel and strong general MS Office skills
