Senior Commercial Finance Manager

I’m delighted to be working with an FMCG organisation with a strong international footprint and some of the world’s most recognisable entities. As the business continues to evolve, they’re looking for a Senior Commercial Finance Manager who thrives on ambiguity, insight and influence — not just reporting cycles.

This role is about adding commercial value, working with senior stakeholders etc. not producing or inputting numbers.

The opportunity

This is a highly commercial role, sitting close to senior stakeholders and the heart of decision-making. You’ll lead a small team while personally driving insight across projects, performance and commercial initiatives.

You’ll focus on:

• Ad-hoc commercial analysis and insight
• Translating complex data into clear business impact
• Challenging assumptions and asking better questions
• Using KPIs and data creatively to drive different outcomes

You’ll be expected to think differently, spot opportunities others miss, and help shape commercial decisions across the business.

Key responsibilities

• Delivering commercial insight and performance analysis to senior stakeholders
• Leading ad-hoc reporting and deep-dive analysis
• Turning data into clear, compelling narratives and recommendations
• Supporting projects and initiatives with robust financial insight
• Developing and tracking KPIs that genuinely influence behaviour and outcomes
• Managing and developing a team of 3
• Acting as a trusted commercial partner, focused on impact, not process

About you

• Strong experience in a commercial finance or analytical role, ideally within FMCG or a fast-paced, complex environment
• A natural curiosity and ability to dig into data, spot patterns and generate insight
• Confidence presenting and influencing at senior levels
• A proactive and creative approach, thinking outside of the box
• Experience leading or mentoring others
• A finance qualification is preferred but not essential
• High-impact commercial role in a global business
• Genuine opportunity to influence decisions and outcomes
• Competitive salary: £80k–£90k + car allowance & bonus
• Excellent pension and wider benefits package
• Hybrid working from the Bracknell office
• A role that rewards curiosity, challenge and commercial thinking
