What you'll be doing:

• Taking the lead on sales and margin analysis, using your commercial insight to drive the business forward.

• Partnering with the marketing team to shape the promotional strategy; testing, analysing, and tweaking until it's just right.
• Owning the budget and forecasting process for sales, costs, and retail.
• Monitoring and managing cost of sales and waste, ensuring targets are hit.
• Managing a Business Analyst and working with them to deliver the goods.

What we're looking for:

• Strong financial modelling skills and commercial acumen.
• The ability to influence and challenge stakeholders.
• Experience in a fast-paced environment (hospitality, retail, fmcg or multi-site).

This role is hybrid (2/3 working pattern) and offered on a fixed term contract for 6 months.
