What you'll be doing We are looking for a sharp, commercially minded Finance professional to join our growing team. In this pivotal role, you will be the bridge between our Sales and Operations departments, ensuring that every new contract we win is both competitive and profitable. This is not a traditional accounting role; it is a strategic position for someone who enjoys the fast-paced nature of sales, possesses a strong analytical toolkit, and wants to see the direct financial impact of their work through the entire contract lifecycle. Key Responsibilities Financial Modelling : Support the building and refining of bespoke budgets for new business bids, ensuring labour costs, food margins, and overheads are accurately projected. Tender Analysis: Carefully review Invitation to Tender (ITT) documents to identify financial risks, mandatory requirements, and commercial opportunities. Post-Win Commercial Analysis: Reviewing how newly won contracts perform against the original budget.

Ideally, you will have equivalent, hands-on Commercial Finance/FP&A experience. Prior Bidding/Pricing Experience: We need someone who can hit the ground running. You should have experience in a similar commercial pricing or bid analysis role. Experience in contract catering is a massive bonus. Advanced Excel: You'll be building complex, multi-tab models that need to be both accurate and easy for others to navigate. High Attention to Detail: Missing a single clause in a tender or a formula error in a budget can be the difference between a winning bid and a loss-making contract. Strong People Skills: You need the diplomacy to tell a Sales Manager "No" when a deal doesn't make sense, while maintaining a collaborative partnership. Commercial Acumen: The ability to see beyond the spreadsheet and understand the operational reality of running a school kitchen. If you're a collaborative, solution-focused Finance professional who thrives in a busy and purposeful environment, we'd love to hear from you. Join us and be part of a team transforming lives through the power of food, making a genuine difference for students across the UK.
