As the Commercial Finance Business Partner for BSS you will provide first class partnering support to the Commercial Team, Supply Chain Team and Leadership team,  to ensure the best commercial decisions are being made.

You will be responsible for all commercial reporting, working closely with category and supply chain managers and providing finance support.
