Key responsibilities include:

• Production of management accounts

• Customer profitability analysis

• Product costing support

• Commercial and operational analysis

• Supplier pricing and performance analysis

• Payroll oversight

• Supporting leadership with commercial insight and recommendations

• Supporting operational and project-based initiatives

• Helping improve visibility across commercial performance

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• Commercial finance experience within a product-led business

• Strong analytical and Excel capability

• Experience influencing commercial decisions

• A proactive and solutions-focused mindset

• Experience within manufacturing, distribution, wholesale, ecommerce or similar product-based sectors

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

The business is open-minded on qualification status and will consider qualified, part-qualified or QBE candidates with the right commercial mindset and experience.

Flexible and part-time working options will be considered, making this an excellent opportunity for experienced finance professionals seeking broader commercial exposure and flexibility.
