Senior Finance Business Partner Groceries
Skills
About This Role
Financial Framework & Governance
- Define and enforce a standardised financial framework for Groceries across all entities and countries including common KPI definitions, a contribution margin waterfall (CM1 CM5), and LFL vs non-LFL separation. Partner with subsidiary accounting teams and inDrive s financial controllers to ensure the reporting infrastructure delivers clean, timely, and reconciled data that supports commercial decision-making.
- Lead business-side financial governance for grocery subsidiaries: coordinate audit support with subsidiary accounting teams, oversee the impact of the US GAAP transition on commercial metrics, and ensure consolidated reporting inputs are accurate and delivered on time. You do not own the accounting entries you own the commercial integrity of what is reported.
- Challenge and validate reported revenue and cost actuals received from subsidiary teams before they feed into commercial models and forecasts ensuring the numbers make commercial sense, flagging anomalies, and pushing back where source data is inconsistent or unexplained.
- Drive the clean-up and automation of Groceries financial data flows: partner with inDrive s accounting team and subsidiary accountants to transition from manual, fragmented, spreadsheet-based reporting to structured, system-based data feeds that provide reliable actuals at the entity, geography, and store levels.
Strategic Planning & Target Setting
- Build and maintain the path-to-profitability model, including store maturity curves, private label margin impact, expansion scenarios, and 3 5 year forecasts.
- Own and challenge annual and quarterly revenue targets building bottom-up from store-level driver assumptions, reconciling against top-down targets, and formally flagging where targets are not supported by operational reality.
- Own the annual Groceries budget, including revenue by entity, OPEX by cost centre, and CAPEX (dark store build-out), built from store-level drivers.
- Lead scenario modelling: quantify the impact of key growth levers (new store openings, private label, geographic expansion, frequency improvement) and provide the business with a range of outcomes, rather than a single point estimate.
Forecasting & Performance Management
- Own quarterly rolling reforecasts updating driver assumptions based on the latest actuals, quantifying risks and opportunities, and providing management with a credible landing range.
- Track performance against budget and stretch targets, with early warning escalation when run rates indicate risk to quarterly or annual commitments.
- Automate consolidated forecasting within Workday Adaptive Planning and build Tableau dashboards for executive reporting.
Commercial Challenge & Investor Readiness
- Commercially challenge the senior Groceries team on growth assumptions, unit economics, and investment cases providing data-backed pushback when plans are not grounded in operational reality.
- Prepare investor-quality narratives for board and IPO workstreams, including the revenue growth story, path to profitability, unit economics improvement, and market expansion strategy.
- Translate complex, multi-entity operational performance into clear executive summaries for the C-suite and board.
