We’re looking for a commercially focused Finance Business Partner to take ownership of margin performance across our revenue-generating portfolio.
This is not a traditional partnering role. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring that margin is designed into deals from the outset, actively managed through delivery, and protected through disciplined commercial decision-making. You’ll bring independent challenge, insight and control, making sure accountability sits clearly with Account Managers and Team Leaders and translates into measurable financial outcomes.
Working across the full deal lifecycle, you’ll influence deal quality at entry, identify risks early, and drive timely intervention to reduce margin leakage. You’ll provide clear visibility of performance, enabling better decision-making and reducing reliance on senior leadership escalation.
This role offers the opportunity to shape commercial discipline in a growing, international B2B environment, supported by strong investment and a focus on M&A-led growth.
