You will play a critical role in protecting the business, with responsibility for ensuring robust governance and a focus on our performance against key revenue objectives.

You’ll support on customer JVCA conversations to optimise investment while partnering and challenging your key stakeholders to support great commercial decision‑making.

The finance controller will have line‑management responsibility for one finance analyst, providing coaching and an ongoing development plan.

Who we’re looking for

As a qualified accountant you will have 5+ years’ experience in finance, evidence of influencing decisions that have improved business results, a commercial awareness with experience in identifying and shaping opportunities and risks, and a proven track record of delivering financial targets. You will have strong technical finance controlling skills, an excellent relationship‑building track record and natural problem‑solving abilities.

If you;

• Are able to build solid relationships and influence stakeholders.
• Have a proactive and positive attitude.
• Can navigate robustly through a fluid and fast‑moving commercial environment.
• Have a keen interest in and would like to learn more about the Off‑Trade.

This could be the role for you!

• Discretionary annual bonus
• Flexible benefits (15% of base salary can be taken as cash, benefits, or a mix of both)
• Company‑funded private medical healthcare
• Double‑matched pension contributions (up to 10%)
• 35 days holiday (with the opportunity to buy/sell)
• A monthly case of our delicious ciders and beers!
