FP&A Manager | London Bridge / Hybrid | £70k - £90k DOE

Commercial Finance | Inventory-Led Business | Strategic Business Partner

Are you a commercially minded FP&A Manager who enjoys being close to the numbers and close to the business?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established, nationally recognised consumer brand that has achieved significant growth and success in a fast-moving, inventory-led environment. The business combines heritage, creativity and ambition with a modern, data-driven approach – and finance plays a central role in shaping what comes next.

Reporting to the Finance Director, this role is about looking forward: identifying trends, risks and opportunities, turning data into insight, and helping senior leaders make better decisions. You’ll be trusted, visible and influential – not just reporting performance but actively improving it.

The Role:

• As FP&A Manager, you will lead the budgeting and forecasting process while acting as a true business partner to commercial and operational teams.
• Key responsibilities include:
• Leading the annual budget and managing rolling forecasts, adapting quickly to trading performance and market conditions
• Translating merchandising and sales forecasts into robust financial plans, with real ownership of stock-related assumptions
• Providing clear insight into what happened, why it happened and what will happen next – with practical, commercial recommendations
• Building long-range plans, scenarios and business models to support growth, investment and new initiatives
• Partnering closely with non-finance leaders to help them understand the financial impact of their decisions
• Driving automation, efficiency and smarter reporting across finance tools and processes
• Managing and developing a Finance Analyst, setting high standards and clear accountability
• What We’re Looking For:
• This role will suit a proactive FP&A professional who enjoys pace, complexity and commercial challenge.

It is essential that you have:

• Experience operating at FP&A Manager level (or equivalent) in a stock-driven, fast-paced environment – specifically consumer goods, ecommerce, retail, fashion

In addition:

• Strong background in budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling, with confidence handling large datasets
• Excellent Excel skills alongside experience with BI tools and ERP systems
• A pragmatic, engaging communication style, able to influence non-finance stakeholders
• Exposure to using automation or AI tools to streamline analysis and reduce manual workload (a plus)
• An accounting qualification (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) is welcomed but not essential

Why Join?

• Join a respected national brand with a strong reputation and ambitious growth plans
• Work in a genuinely commercial FP&A role, embedded in decision-making
• High visibility with senior stakeholders and real opportunity to influence outcomes
• The chance to modernise, automate and shape how finance supports the business
• A culture that values pragmatism, collaboration and thoughtful challenge

On Offer:

• £70k - £90k Basic salary
• Hybrid working

If you’re an FP&A Manager who enjoys stock, thrives on insight rather than reporting, and wants to make a visible impact in a successful, evolving business, this role offers exactly that.
