Jobbeschreibung
Here at innocent, we're on a mission to make it easier for everyone to get more fruit and veg into their bodies. We started back in 1999 and since then we've gone from selling a few smoothies at a music festival to becoming one of Europe's biggest drinks companies with around 1,000 people (and the B Corp seal of approval).
It's nice to be able to say things like that but we're not patting ourselves on the back just yet. We want to show everyone that it's possible to be a successful business while looking after people and the planet too, so we're trying to get better in pretty much every way. And that's where this job comes in.
We are seeking an experienced Finance Lead to support our German business. This critical role within the country leadership team involves driving the delivery of the country scorecard and taking full ownership of the financials. A key responsibility will be partnering with the leadership team to enhance overall performance, with a strong emphasis on the commercial team, as well as other cost areas such as logistics and storage, waste management, DME, and OPEX.
What you'll be doing
- Collaborate with commercial teams to ensure optimal financial outcomes through well-negotiated commercial agreements. You will be responsible for challenging customer proposals and managing trade and pricing agreements.
- Oversee one direct report while contributing to leadership within the broader finance organization, adding strategic value.
- Maintain stringent financial controls to ensure accurate reporting at all times, continuously improving efficiency in financial processes.
- Serve as the Finance Business Partner to the Head of Country, fostering key relationships with the Commercial, Marketing, RGM, Customer Operations, and Group Finance teams.
- Take ownership of full P&L reporting, providing insightful performance analyses. A key responsibility will also be guiding the country through the broader business planning cycle.
- Demonstrated experience in leading a team, with strong coaching and mentoring skills.
- Proven experience in financial analysis, reporting, budgeting, cost tracking and business partnering.
- Ability to build and maintain cross-functional relationships, with the capacity to influence senior stakeholders as part of a senior management team.
- Extensive experience in a Commercial Finance environment.
- Excellent communication skills, with fluency in both spoken and written English and German.
- Confidence in addressing challenges from both internal and external stakeholders.
- Persistence in securing time with stakeholders and ensuring your perspectives and recommendations are heard.
At innocent, it's the relationships and friendships we create while working together, that make us who we are. It's why we love hybrid working - a mix of connecting in person and remotely. We're also aware that the world is changing, and we all want and need different things from our work and home lives. So, if you need to walk the dog, go to the gym, or have commitments outside of work, we're open to talking through flexible working options that work for you and us.
In return for everything you can bring, we can offer you an exciting, challenging role in a fast-growing and dynamic business, with plenty of career opportunities as well as a competitive rewards package.
