Job Description
Global FMCG Flexible UK Location £75,000-£85,000 + Package

We're supporting a major global FMCG organisation with the appointment of a Supply Chain Finance Business Partner into a highly commercial role partnering closely with its supply chain and operational leadership teams.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys getting beyond the numbers - understanding what is happening operationally, challenging performance and using financial insight to improve decision-making across a complex, international supply chain.

The role

Working as a key finance partner to Supply Chain, you will:

  • Partner senior Supply Chain, Manufacturing and Operations stakeholders.
  • Provide financial insight across manufacturing, logistics, procurement and wider supply chain performance.
  • Analyse and challenge cost, productivity, efficiency and operational performance.
  • Support forecasting, budgeting and longer-term planning across the supply chain.
  • Help identify opportunities to improve margin, working capital and cost-to-serve.
  • Translate complex operational and financial data into clear commercial insight.
  • Build robust business cases around investment, productivity and transformation initiatives.
  • Provide constructive challenge to operational teams and influence decision-making across the business.
  • Support continuous improvement and greater consistency in financial reporting and performance management.
The individual

We're looking for a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with strong commercial finance/business partnering experience, ideally gained within FMCG, consumer, manufacturing or another complex supply chain environment.

You'll need to be comfortable operating with senior non-finance stakeholders and have the credibility to both support and challenge operational teams.

Previous exposure to supply chain finance, manufacturing finance, CPG/FMCG operations, logistics or procurement would be particularly relevant.

Just as importantly, this will suit someone who is naturally curious - able to understand the operational drivers behind the numbers rather than simply reporting financial performance.

Package & Location

Salary: c.£75,000-£85,000 + package
Location: Flexible UK location / hybrid working
Business: Global FMCG

This is a strong opportunity to join a large-scale international organisation in a role offering genuine exposure to the commercial and operational levers that drive supply chain performance.
