FP&A and Commercial Finance Manager - Build a function from ground upLocation: BrighouseSalary: £65k-£75k paWhat Would You Build If You Started With Nothing?Not inherited spreadsheets.Not outdated reports.Not someone else’s version of “good enough.”Just a business.A leadership team ready for change.And a blank canvas.Because that’s exactly what’s on offer here.A Role That Starts With a Question“What does great FP&A actually look like here?”Not in theory.Not in a textbook.But in a real, complex, multi-site business operating at serious scale.Right now, the answer doesn’t exist.Which is why this role does.Why This Isn’t Like Other FP&A RolesMost roles give you a framework and ask you to run it.This one gives you a business and asks you to design the framework.
How should forecasting actually work?What should leadership really be measuring?Where are the blind spots in performance?How do you turn data into decisions, not just reports?You won’t be tweaking the edges.
You’ll be defining the core.The Business You’re Walking Into
A £200m+ organisation.Established. Recognised. Complex.Now entering a new phase.
New leadership.New investment in systems and data.A clear shift from “reporting the past” to shaping the future.
They’ve already started laying the groundwork:
Strengthening core financeInvesting in BI and data capabilityBringing in people who think differentlyBut the real step-change?
That comes from building a proper FP&A engine.What This Role Feels Like Day-to-DaySome days you’ll be deep in a model, connecting operational drivers to financial outcomes.Other days, you’ll be in conversations that shape real decisions:
Why is one region outperforming another?What happens if we change pricing, stock mix or investment levels?Where is cash really being generated (or lost)?You’ll move quickly between detail and big picture.
Between numbers and narrative.Between building and influencing.And Yes - You’re Building It AllThere’s no legacy to fight against.So you’ll create:
Forecasting models that actually reflect how the business runsCash flow visibility that leadership can rely onScenario planning that supports real decisionsKPI frameworks that drive behaviour, not just track itReporting that tells a story, not just fills a pack
Over time, this evolves into something bigger:A function that sits at the centre of how the business thinks, plans and performs.The Kind Of Person Who Leans Into ThisThis role isn’t about ticking boxes.It’s about mindset.You’ll likely enjoy this if you:
Prefer building models to maintaining themGet curious when something doesn’t make senseLike working things out when there isn’t a clear answerAre comfortable challenging how things are doneWant your work to influence decisions, not just document themYou might be in FP&A already.Or commercial finance.Or somewhere analytical where you’ve outgrown the environment you’re in.
What matters most is this:You see opportunity where others see “unfinished.”What Happens If You Get This RightThis isn’t just a role.It’s a platform.Because once this capability is built:You become the go-to person for performance and insightYou work closely with senior leadership on strategyYou shape how data is used across the businessYou’re in a position to build and lead a teamAnd crucially…You’ll be able to point to something tangible and say:“That didn’t exist before I got here.”The Practical Bits (Briefly)£65,000 – £75,000 base salaryBonus + benefits packageWest Yorkshire-based (initially more on-site to embed, then flexibility)Exposure across multiple sites and leadership teamsTarget audience:
CIMA/ACCA/ACA qualifiedProven experience in FP&A focussed Commercial Finance rolesStrong technical experience with Excel, Power BI, Analytics tools Automation.An early adopter of AI
Final ThoughtSome roles give you responsibility.Some give you ownership.Very few give you creation.This is one of them.If you’ve been waiting for a role where you can genuinely build, influence and leave your mark - this could be it. About IFF Talent:Imagine a recruitment partner that doesn’t stop at placing you in the perfect role - one that supports your personal and professional growth across your entire career journey.At IFF Talent, we believe recruitment should be relational, not transactional.Our slogan, "Beyond Recruitment" is our commitment to continue adding value long after the placement - whether you're hiring, exploring, or simply growing.
