Excellent financial modelling skills, including building models from scratch to support pricing, scenarios, and negotiations.
Advanced Excel skills, with the ability to handle large data sets accurately and efficiently.

A genuine interest in process improvement and using AI and automation tools to work smarter.
Experience with BI or visualization tools (e.g. Power BI, Tableau) and/or ERP systems.

Responsibilities

Act as the dedicated finance partner for our two largest channels, Amazon and Fullscript (our biggest distributor), becoming the go-to person for commercial and financial questions in these areas.
Build strong working relationships with channel and commercial leads, challenging and supporting them to improve performance.
Translate channel-level trends into actionable insight, helping the business make better decisions on investment, promotions, and growth priorities.
Own the reporting and analysis of revenue and gross margin on a weekly and monthly basis, ensuring numbers are accurate, timely, and well understood.
Prepare and contribute to board reports and other senior-level materials, presenting performance with clarity and commercial context.
Monitor margin drivers and flag emerging trends early, so the business can act before issues become problems.
Own the monthly Latest Estimate (LE) process end to end, from data gathering and stakeholder input through to a credible, well-supported forecast.
Build and maintain the models and analysis that underpin the LE, identifying risks and opportunities and clearly articulating the story behind the numbers.
Partner with the wider finance team to ensure consistency between the LE, budget, and actuals, explaining variances with insight rather than just description.
Build robust financial models to support pricing decisions, contract renegotiations, and other commercial initiatives.
Quantify the financial impact of different scenarios, giving decision-makers clear, well-reasoned options.
Provide hands-on commercial finance support to negotiations, helping secure the best outcomes for the business.
Continuously improve how we plan, report, and analyse, streamlining manual processes and reducing time-to-insight.
