About our Finance team
Our Finance team sits at the heart of strategic decision-making, working hand-in-hand with trading and operational teams to drive commercial success. We don’t just manage the numbers – we make them meaningful. From customer transactions and procurement to financial reporting, we deliver insights that uncover trends, spot opportunities, and highlight risks.
With around 90 colleagues across UK and Ireland Group Finance, we offer a unique mix of breadth and depth. Our lean structure means every role is varied and impactful, while our scale gives you plenty of room to grow and explore different areas of finance.
We’re not just supporting the business – we’re shaping it. As Finance evolves, we’re moving beyond transactional tasks to become strategic thinkers. Our team is transforming into proactive, cross-functional advisors who use data to tell compelling stories and influence decisions.
Right now, we’re embarking on a major finance transformation, including the implementation of SAP S/4HANA. This is a pivotal moment to modernise systems, enhance processes, and redefine how Finance operates across the business.
If you’re passionate about making a difference, eager to grow, and ready to help shape the future of Finance, we’d love to hear from you.
