Commercial Finance Business Partner

At Mizkan Euro, we're bold about flavour and even bolder about people. Whether it's crafting our iconic brands (Branston, Sarson's, Haywards) or challenging the way things have always been done. We're part of a 200-year-old Japanese business with a global footprint, but we operate like a fast-moving challenger brand in the UK and Europe.

Now, we're looking for a Commercial Finance Business Partner who's more than just a number cruncher but someone who's commercially curious, influential and ready to help steer the business behind the brands.

This is a rare opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Sales, Marketing and NPD teams, supporting decision-making that lands products on shelves, drives promotional strategy and shapes future growth. You'll be the person translating financial insight into everyday business language, helping teams understand not just the what, but the whyand ultimately, the what next.

What you'll be doing:

• Partnering with our Commercial & Marketing teams to drive performance from campaign planning and pricing strategy to trade terms and promotional effectiveness.
• Acting as the go-to person for insight on promotional ROI, elasticity modelling, and deal analysis.
• Owning and evolving reporting, not just producing reports but challenging what's reported and training others to self-serve and upskill.
• Supporting strategic plans and product launches through clear financial modelling, Stage-Gate reviews, and business cases.
• Leading the trade spend and net revenue management process, supporting both Retail and Foodservice growth.
• Acting as a trusted financial sounding board, balancing challenge with support, helping the business see around corners, not just back at numbers.

What we're looking for

We're after a commercially savvy finance professional who:

• Is CIMA qualified or has equivalent experience
• Brings FMCG experience, ideally working with retailers, trade terms and promotional planning.
• Knows their way around Net Revenue Management, CPI modelling and pricing strategy.
• Can turn complex numbers into clear, simple business stories and train others to do the same.
• Is confident challenging and influencing
• Thrives in a fast-paced, bold team where being helpful, direct and hands-on is the norm.
