Finance Business Partner - Margin Management
DC Thomson
Posted about 19 hours ago
We’re looking for a commercially focused Finance Business Partner to take ownership of margin performance across our revenue-generating portfolio.
This is not a traditional partnering role. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring that margin is designed into deals from the outset, actively managed through delivery, and protected through disciplined commercial decision-making. You’ll bring independent challenge, insight and control, making sure accountability sits clearly with Account Managers and Team Leaders and translates into measurable financial outcomes.
Working across the full deal lifecycle, you’ll influence deal quality at entry, identify risks early, and drive timely intervention to reduce margin leakage. You’ll provide clear visibility of performance, enabling better decision-making and reducing reliance on senior leadership escalation.
This role offers the opportunity to shape commercial discipline in a growing, international B2B environment, supported by strong investment and a focus on M&A-led growth.
Requirements
- Proven experience in a Finance Business Partnering or Commercial Finance role, with strong exposure to margin performance and deal economics
- Ability to apply commercial judgement to challenge pricing, scope and delivery assumptions
- Strong data interpretation skills, with experience using financial and operational data to identify risks, trends and opportunities
- Track record of influencing senior stakeholders, holding others to account and driving measurable outcomes
- Experience improving business processes, particularly around pricing, governance or delivery models
- Strong forecasting and planning capability, with a focus on improving accuracy and predictability
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment with multiple stakeholders
- Background in FMCG, consultancy, energy or similarly commercial, performance-driven sectors is advantageous
You’ll stand out if you:
- Bring a proactive, curious mindset — always looking beyond the numbers to understand drivers of performance
- Are confident challenging constructively and influencing at all levels
- Take ownership of outcomes and act decisively when performance is off track
- Enjoy working collaboratively across finance, commercial and operational teams to deliver impact
