Step into a role that goes far beyond traditional management accounting, the Finance Business Partner position gives you the opportunity to influence commercial decisions and drive meaningful performance improvements across our Vision Express and David Clulow operated store estate.
As a Finance Business Partner, you’ll work closely with Regional Directors, Area Managers and Store Leaders to translate financial insight into real-world actions that elevate performance, improve profitability and support operational excellence across the network.
As a Finance Business Partner, you’ll be the trusted advisor to field leadership - helping them understand the drivers behind sales, margin, labour and store productivity. Your insight will guide financial decisions and support improved commercial outcomes across hundreds of stores.
You’ll analyse weekly and monthly performance, highlight risks and opportunities, and turn complex financial data into clear, actionable recommendations. From business case modelling to scenario planning and evaluating commercial initiatives, you'll play a central role in how we drive value across the estate.
Working cross‑functionally with Operations, HR, Commercial, Supply Chain and Property teams, you’ll ensure financial insight underpins strategic projects and operational improvements. Your ability to influence, challenge and shape outcomes will have a direct impact on store performance.
