Here at innocent, we’re on a mission to make it easier for everyone to get more fruit and veg into their bodies. We started back in 1999 and since then we’ve gone from selling a few smoothies at a music festival to becoming one of Europe’s biggest drinks companies with around 1,000 people (and the B Corp seal of approval).
It’s nice to be able to say things like that but we’re not patting ourselves on the back just yet. We want to show everyone that it’s possible to be a successful business while looking after people and the planet too, so we’re trying to get better in pretty much every way. And that’s where this job comes in.
This role sits right at the heart of our commercial finance team, where numbers meet real decisions. You will have a clear view of pricing, promotions, customer profitability and trade investment, and see how all of these come together to shape the business. Working closely with our commercial teams, you will learn how we work with customers and how decisions are actually made day to day, not just how they look on paper.
The team is heading towards deeper insight, clearer forecasting and stronger controls, so the business can trust the numbers when it really matters. Your work helps protect the integrity of our financial information and gives the commercial team confidence to make bold, well informed choices. It is a role with real visibility and growing influence.
You’ll be
- Owning key checks that protect our numbers, including price variance checks and forecast input checks, validating completeness, accuracy and sensible phasing.
- Supporting trade terms activity (pricing, promos, discounts, rebates and customer investment), working with the commercial team to keep processes running smoothly and compliantly.
- Tracking and managing trade spend, allocating invoices to promotions, monitoring invoice/accrual balances, and supporting actions to reduce aged or unallocated items.
- Working with stakeholders to investigate variances and resolve root causes, using data to explain what’s happened and what it means.
- Supporting period-end and ad-hoc reporting, using accounting systems confidently and building clear, well-structured Excel outputs.
You’ll have
- A sharp eye for detail and a real commitment to accurate, reliable numbers
- Strong Excel skills, with the motivation to keep improving them
- The ability to build relationships and work comfortably with non finance teams
- A problem solving mindset and enjoyment of improving processes
- Curiosity about the commercial side of the business and a desire to understand why things happen
- Confidence to challenge assumptions in a thoughtful, constructive way
You’ll get
- Hands on exposure to how commercial decisions are supported, challenged and signed off
- The chance to learn about trade terms, customer investment, forecasting and spend governance
- Close collaboration with commercial, logistics and finance colleagues across the business
- Ownership of key processes that protect the quality of our forecasts and reporting
- Opportunities to spot patterns, question variances and suggest better ways of working
- A role that grows in scope, trust and responsibility as your confidence and insight develop
We want innocent to be a great place to work, so we do lots of stuff to make people feel at home and try to make sure everyone’s career is shaping up the way they want it to. There are plenty of opportunities to have a go at something new or take things further.
In exchange for helping us do business in the right way, you’ll get a solid rewards package that includes a salary (phew), private healthcare, a target-based bonus, and a bunch of other nice things like a day off on your birthday. And yes, you get free smoothies.
We also know that not all our drinkers come from the same background, or think the same – so why should we? At innocent, we want to be a great place to work where a diverse bunch of people from all backgrounds can turn up and thrive. When we hire, we want all the juice, bits, and pulp that make you who you are.
Even if you don’t think you can tick all the boxes, if the job sounds right for you, come and throw your hat in the ring.
Probably best to get your skates on though, as we might close this early if we get loads of applications.
