About the role

We are looking for a dynamic and experienced Senior Finance Manager to join our team and play a pivotal role in accelerating business performance. In this high-impact position, you'll lead the charge in delivering best-in-class reporting and insights that shape critical business decisions and drive meaningful change across the organisation. With a focus on both internal and external stakeholders, you'll be at the heart of delivering value for the business.

The ideal candidate is eager to build on the significant strides Ocado has made in FP&A reporting over the past 18 months.

Innovation is in Ocado's DNA, and we're seeking someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment. You'll have the resilience to navigate change with confidence and the adaptability to shift priorities as needed, all while being supported by a talented and driven team.
