Commercial Finance Analyst (Ref: JW)

A successful retail business is currently hiring a new Commercial Finance Analyst to join its large UK Head Office function based in Stafford.

You will be tasked with interpreting large amounts of raw sales data into more meaningful and simplistic management information for use by the commercial team, thus facilitating an improved focus on more efficient sales strategy. You will also be responsible for translating this complex information for your non-finance audience (i.e. Senior Commercial Managers, Sales Director, Marketing Director, etc.) into more understandable terms, helping the business focus on board level strategy. Furthermore you will be business-partner individual budget holders in improving budgetary performance, and challenge forecasts in order to facilitate better accuracy and controls.

This role will give you direct commercial experience in a fast-paced, ambitious and growing retail environment – helping you develop priceless experience for a future move towards senior management (i.e. Finance Manager, Financial Controller or Finance Director).
