Job description
innocent started with a simple mission: to make drinks that make it easy to do yourself some good. In 1999 we concocted a few smoothies in our kitchen and tested them on people at a music festival; today we’re blending every type of fruit & veg under the sun and selling drinks right across Europe. We have great ambitions: to show the world that you can build a successful business that cares about more than just profit, and to leave things better than we find them. We’re proud to call ourselves Europe’s favourite little healthy drinks company, but we’re still growing. And that means we need more brilliant people who share our ambition, to join in with the next, most exciting, part of our story.
As a business partner to supply chain you will be at the heart of supply logistics, helping us to understand the true cost of moving product around our network and helping the supply chain to understand the real cost of operations.
You will own aspects of in-year finances related to our network logistics (getting stuff to where it needs to be to be sold), working with logistic business partners to ensure finances are tip-top and reported back to senior supply partners in a clear and effective manner.
By partnering with our logistics teams, you will provide weekly analysis into costs V budget, highlighting anything that looks awry and aiding the supply team in fully understanding the impact of choices being made and relevant costs associated with that and ensuring we are delivering the strategy of the supply chain with as little variance to budget as possible.
As we recently launched our brand new finance system (D365) you will also have the opportunity to develop, build and integrate strong financial processes to our logistics variance analysis, leading to clear period end reviews within our 2 day finance close process.
Whilst this role is currently full time, we are able to offer it on a 4 days part-time basis if required.
