About the Company
This is a fast-growing, privately owned consumer brands manufacturer with a strong and expanding presence across APAC. The business sits at the intersection of brand, manufacturing and commercial execution, competing in a dynamic FMCG environment where speed, quality and smart decision-making matter.
With well-known brands, in-house manufacturing and a highly operational culture, the organisation is built for growth. Leaders are close to the detail, decisions are made with intent and Finance is embedded in the commercial engine of the business rather than operating at arm’s length.
As the business continues to scale across the region, it is investing in senior leadership to strengthen how commercial decisions are made and how value is created across brands, channels and customers.
About the Role
As Head of Commercial Finance APAC, your role is to improve commercial performance by partnering deeply with Sales and Marketing.
You will provide financial leadership across pricing, promotions, trade spend, brand investment and customer and channel profitability. Your goal is to ensure commercial decisions are grounded in robust analysis and aligned to the broader APAC strategy.
This is a visible, hands-on leadership role. You will work closely with senior stakeholders, challenge constructively and turn financial insight into clear, practical actions that drive results.
You will report directly to the APAC CFO, sit on the Finance Leadership Team and lead a small commercial finance team, with scope to further shape and evolve the function as the business grows.
Key focus areas include:
- Commercial partnering with Sales and Marketing leadership
- Pricing, promotions and trade spend effectiveness
- Brand, category, customer and channel performance analysis
- Budgeting, forecasting and performance management
- Leadership and development of the commercial finance team
About You

- Strong capability across pricing, trade spend and commercial decision support
- Proven leadership experience with the ability to develop high-performing teams
- Strong FP&A background
- CA or CPA qualification
- A practical, commercial mindset and collaborative approach
