Commercial Finance Business Partner
Amsterdam | Hybrid, 2 to 3 days in the office
€80,000+ | Excellent benefits
We Do Group are partnering with an international, PE-backed consumer business to recruit a Commercial Finance Business Partner into a newly developing finance function.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone bright, commercial and ambitious who wants a role with real breadth.
You will sit at the centre of Commercial Finance, FP&A and Supply Finance, connecting the numbers with what is actually happening across the business.
This is not a traditional reporting role.
You will be expected to understand the full P&L, challenge assumptions, influence decisions and help commercial and operational teams improve performance across a portfolio of international markets.
What will you be doing?
What are we looking for?
More importantly, they want someone engaging, bright and talented.
Someone who can connect with people across the wider business.
Someone who understands the numbers but can also explain what they mean, challenge thinking and help drive action.
The team is lean and the environment is fast-moving, so they need someone entrepreneurial, proactive and comfortable working outside a narrow job description.
This will suit someone who wants more responsibility, more exposure and more influence than they would get in a traditional finance role.
It is an opportunity to join a PE-backed business at an exciting point in its journey and help build how commercial finance operates across an international organisation.

Let’s be honest for a moment.
A lot of recruitment advice floats around telling candidates to “stay positive”, “keep applying”, and “believe in yourself”. None of that is wrong, but...
