**High Growth Entertainment Business**

Central London | Hybrid

£75,000 + bonus + benefits

A rapidly growing international multisite entertainment business is recruiting a Commercial Finance Manager during an exciting stage. This is a highly visible and commercially focused role reporting to the Finance Director, working closely with senior commercial, operational, and leadership stakeholders to improve business performance and support decision-making.

The business is undergoing significant international expansion, with an ambitious pipeline of new locations. This creates an excellent opportunity to join an entrepreneurial organisation where Finance plays an important role in understanding performance, identifying opportunities, and supporting the next phase of growth.

You will sit at the intersection of Finance and the wider business, providing insightful analysis, financial challenge, and strategic support. The role goes beyond reporting the numbers; you will be expected to understand what is driving performance, explain the commercial implications, and provide clear recommendations on what the business should do next.

There will be significant exposure to pricing, profitability, investment decisions, and commercial modelling alongside ownership of forecasting, budgeting, and longer-term planning. You will build strong relationships across the organisation and use financial and operational data to identify risks, opportunities, and ways to improve sustainable profitability. This is a fast-moving and ambitious business where priorities will evolve as the organisation scales.

The successful individual will therefore combine strong analytical capability with commercial curiosity, pragmatism, and the confidence to constructively challenge senior stakeholders.

**Key responsibilities include:**

- Analysing revenue, margin, costs, and profitability to identify opportunities to improve commercial performance
- Supporting pricing, promotional, and investment decisions through financial modelling
- Delivering scenario and sensitivity analysis around commercial risks and opportunities
- Preparing monthly forecasts, budgets, and long-range financial plans
- Analysing performance against budget, forecast, and prior year, identifying key trends and underlying drivers
- Partnering senior commercial and operational stakeholders, providing insight, guidance, and constructive challenge
- Translating financial and operational data into clear, actionable commercial recommendations
- Producing insightful management reporting and presentations for senior leadership
- Supporting customer, product, and strategic decision-making
- Supporting investor and bank reporting

You will have strong experience within Commercial Finance, FP&A, or Finance Business Partnering and be comfortable operating in a genuinely commercial, stakeholder-facing position. You will combine strong analytical and financial modelling capability with commercial judgement and the ability to influence senior stakeholders. Experience within hospitality, leisure, consumer, retail, or another multi-site environment would be advantageous, although commercial capability and the ability to operate successfully within a fast-growth business are most important.

You will be commercially curious, proactive, and pragmatic, with the ability to turn complex analysis into a clear business story. You will be comfortable challenging assumptions, identifying opportunities, and working across functions in an entrepreneurial environment.

For the right individual, this represents an excellent opportunity to join an exciting international business and play a key role in improving commercial performance and supporting its continued growth.
