Commercial Finance Business Partner

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Strategic Decision Support:
  Act as a co-pilot to Sales and Marketing Directors. Evaluate business cases for new product development (NPD) and market expansion.
• Revenue Management:
  Analyze pricing strategies and "Value-to-Volume" trade-offs. You’ll identify opportunities to improve Gross Margin through better pack-price architecture.
• Trade Spend Optimization:
  Review and challenge the effectiveness of promotional activities (ROI analysis). You ensure that "buy-one-get-one" isn't just moving volume, but actually making money.
• Budgeting & Rolling Forecasts:
  Lead the Integrated Business Planning (IBP) process for the commercial side, ensuring sales targets are realistic and aligned with financial goals.
• Performance Monitoring:
  Track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as Net Revenue, Market Share, and Contribution Margin, providing "the story behind the numbers."
• Risk & Opportunity Management:
  Proactively identify financial risks (e.g., commodity price spikes) and opportunities (e.g., unexpected demand) to pivot the commercial strategy mid-quarter.
