Commercial Finance Analyst

My client is a large, complex organisation operating in a fast-paced, data-intensive environment. They are looking to strengthen their divisional finance function with a commercially minded Finance Analyst who combines strong stakeholder skills with genuinely advanced data and modelling capability.

This is a hands-on role sitting within a divisional finance team, reporting directly into the Divisional FD. This is not a traditional "good with Excel" business partnering role - the successful candidate will be someone who can build and interrogate complex financial models, manipulate large data sets (including via SQL and VBA), and translate that analysis into clear, compelling recommendations for senior stakeholders across the business.

You will act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, using data to challenge, influence, and support commercial decision-making across the division.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Build, maintain, and enhance complex financial models to support forecasting, scenario planning, and strategic decision-making.
• Extract, manipulate, and analyse large, complex data sets using SQL to identify trends, risks, and commercial opportunities.
• Business partner with senior divisional stakeholders, acting as a trusted finance advisor on commercial and operational decisions.
• Use VBA and other tools to automate and improve the efficiency and accuracy of reporting and analysis.
• Translate complex financial and data analysis into clear, insightful narratives and presentations for senior/executive audiences.
• Partner with FP&A, commercial, and operational teams to ensure alignment between financial data and business performance.

My client operates a hybrid model of 4 days onsite in their London office - which is a business wide commitment, so please only express interest if you are happy with that model.
