Commercial Finance Controller, UK&I and Nordics

Why we are here  
Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand-in-hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Waitrose, Ben & Jerry's, and Albert Heijn have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate too.  
 

What you will do  
We are looking for a Commercial Finance Controller to lead planning, insights and continuous improvements across Tony’s P&L in the UK, Ireland and Nordics with a strong focus on revenue growth drivers, contribution margin development and EBIT performance. 

This is a commercial finance role with real influence, and you will play a key role in shaping Tony’s growth trajectory in one of our most important markets. The UK&I is a key strategic market and an important driver for Tony’s continuing to make global impact. As a trusted partner to the local leadership team, you will closely follow commercial and operational developments, proactively manage risks and opportunities and translate complex financial data into clear insights and recommendations that keep the business and mission on track.  

You will report to the Head of Commercial Finance based in Amsterdam and partner closely with the UK leadership team based in Richmond, London. 

All wrapped up, you’ll:

• Lead planning & control cycles: Own and drive Tony’s planning and control cycle for the UK&I and Nordics in close collaboration with the Homebase FBI (Finance, Business Planning & Performance and IT) team, including month-end close, annual close, budgeting, quarterly reforecasts and the yearly 3‑year business plan. 

• Drive revenue growth management: Act as a true business partner to the Country Manager/GM and Sales leads by deeply understanding local market dynamics, revenue drivers, channel and portfolio mix, and identifying growth opportunities across pricing, promotions, product mix/assortment and trade investment. 

• Enable profitability insights: Create clear and actionable insights on customer and portfolio profitability through sales and margin analysis, customer allowances, promotional spend and discounts, while driving deep dives into contribution margin development to steer towards margin targets. 

• Strengthen decision-making with data: Improve decision-making and operational efficiency by monitoring business performance, tracking financial and non-financial KPIs, and translating variances into root-cause analyses, concrete actions and strong business cases for leadership decision-making. 

• Champion insights & tools: Promote data-driven ways of working by enabling the use of tooling in the markets and ensuring timely, high-quality financial reporting and real-time insights to support ongoing business decisions.
