FP&A and Commercial Finance Manager - Build a function from ground up Location: Brighouse Salary: £65k-£75k pa What Would You Build If You Started With Nothing? Not inherited spreadsheets. Not outdated reports. Not someone else’s version of “good enough.” Just a business. A leadership team ready for change. And a blank canvas. Because that’s exactly what’s on offer here. A Role That Starts With a Question “What does great FP&A actually look like here?” Not in theory. Not in a textbook. But in a real, complex, multi-site business operating at serious scale. Right now, the answer doesn’t exist. Which is why this role does. Why This Isn’t Like Other FP&A Roles Most roles give you a framework and ask you to run it. This one gives you a business and asks you to design the framework. • How should forecasting actually work?, • What should leadership really be measuring?, • Where are the blind spots in performance?, • How do you turn data into decisions, not just reports? The Business You’re Walking Into • A £200m+ organisation., • Established. Recognised. Complex., • Now entering a new phase., • New leadership., • New investment in systems and data., • Strengthening core finance, • Investing in BI and data capability, • Bringing in people who think differently What This Role Feels Like Day-to-Day Some days you’ll be deep in a model, connecting operational drivers to financial outcomes. Other days, you’ll be in conversations that shape real decisions: • Why is one region outperforming another?, • What happens if we change pricing, stock mix or investment levels?, • Where is cash really being generated (or lost)? Between building and influencing. And Yes - You’re Building It All There’s no legacy to fight against. So you’ll create: • Forecasting models that actually reflect how the business runs, • Cash flow visibility that leadership can rely on, • Scenario planning that supports real decisions, • KPI frameworks that drive behaviour, not just track it A function that sits at the centre of how the business thinks, plans and performs. The Kind Of Person Who Leans Into This This role isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about mindset. You’ll likely enjoy this if you: • Prefer building models to maintaining them, • Get curious when something doesn’t make sense, • Like working things out when there isn’t a clear answer, • Are comfortable challenging how things are done, • Want your work to influence decisions, not just document them, • You might be in FP&A already., • Or commercial finance. You see opportunity where others see “unfinished.” What Happens If You Get This Right This isn’t just a role. It’s a platform. Because once this capability is built: You become the go-to person for performance and insight You work closely with senior leadership on strategy You shape how data is used across the business You’re in a position to build and lead a team And crucially… You’ll be able to point to something tangible and say: “That didn’t exist before I got here.” The Practical Bits (Briefly) £65,000 – £75,000 base salary Bonus + benefits package West Yorkshire-based (initially more on-site to embed, then flexibility) Exposure across multiple sites and leadership teams Target audience: • CIMA/ACCA/ACA qualified, • Proven experience in FP&A focussed Commercial Finance roles, • Strong technical experience with Excel, Power BI, Analytics tools Automation. Some roles give you responsibility. Some give you ownership. Very few give you creation. This is one of them. If you’ve been waiting for a role where you can genuinely build, influence and leave your mark - this could be it.
