Role Summary

The Finance Business Partners are the finance voice inside the commercial team for the FMCG & Toys segments.  They own segment profitability analysis, support pricing and trade-spend decisions, and turn numbers into commercial action.

Support customer and tender negotiations with breakeven and scenario analysis,

Build business cases for new lines, customers, and markets.

Planning & forecasting

Explain variances in commercial terms, not accounting terms,

Feed the segment cash and working-capital view to the management.

Partnering

Challenge commercial assumptions constructively and hold the line on margin discipline,

Translate finance to non-finance stakeholders and vice versa.
