Own Insight and Influence Commercial Performance Across a Global Retail Business

At Harding+, our Finance team plays a critical role in driving performance across ships worldwide. Working closely with Retail Operations, commercial teams and senior stakeholders, we deliver the insight that shapes decision-making across a fast-moving global retail environment.

Operating across international markets means working with large datasets, tight reporting deadlines and evolving commercial priorities.

We are seeking an FP&A Analyst to join our team in Avonmouth. This role offers a high level of ownership and exposure, with the opportunity to work closely with senior stakeholders and contribute directly to commercial performance.

Take Ownership of Trade Reporting and Performance Insight

You will take ownership of weekly and monthly trade reporting across sales, margin and key performance indicators, ensuring reporting is accurate, timely and commercially meaningful.

Beyond reporting, you will be expected to interpret performance, identify trends and provide clear, actionable insight to stakeholders.

This role requires someone who can move beyond producing numbers to explaining what is driving performance and what actions should follow.

Support Forecasting and Drive Commercial Analysis

You will play a key role in budgeting and forecasting cycles, supporting reforecasts and ongoing performance tracking across the business.

You will deliver ad hoc analysis and deeper performance reviews, identifying risks and opportunities to support decision-making.

You will also contribute to quarterly business review packs and support improvements in reporting processes, working with Finance Systems and BI teams to drive automation and efficiency.

Partner with Senior Stakeholders Across the Business

This role involves regular interaction with senior non-finance stakeholders, including Retail Operations and Client Teams.

You will act as a trusted partner, translating financial data into clear, commercially relevant insight and supporting performance discussions.

You will be confident communicating with stakeholders, able to challenge constructively and influence decision-making where required.

Operate Independently in a Fast-Paced Environment

You will work in a high-volume retail environment with competing priorities and tight deadlines.

This role requires someone who is comfortable working independently, taking ownership of their workload and managing multiple deliverables.

You will also be expected to identify opportunities to improve reporting, processes and insight, contributing to the ongoing development of the FP&A function.

About You

You are an FP&A Analyst, Finance Analyst or Commercial Analyst with strong experience in financial planning & analysis, reporting and performance insight.

You are likely part-qualified (ACCA, CIMA or ACA) or have equivalent experience, with a strong foundation in commercial finance.

You are confident working with stakeholders and are able to communicate effectively with non-finance audiences, including more senior stakeholders.

You are proactive, detail-oriented and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment with multiple priorities.

You take ownership of your work, are confident working independently and are motivated to continuously improve how reporting and analysis is delivered.

Experience with Power BI, automation or working within a retail or similarly fast-paced commercial environment would be beneficial.
