Finance Business Partner

The role: What's in the Box

As a Sr. Finance Business Partner for Cost of Goods and Packaging, you will be a core member of the BNL & Nordics FP&A Team, reporting directly to the Associate Director of FP&A for Nordics & Benelux. This is a hands-on role for someone comfortable building models and querying data as well as presenting the results to senior stakeholders.

Based in Amsterdam, you will serve as the primary finance partner for supply chain, procurement and distribution centre leadership across BNL and Nordics, with real ownership of the COGs and packaging forecast. You will embed yourself in the operational and commercial detail of our distribution centres and build trusted relationships with procurement and operations counterparts across markets. Beyond COGs and packaging, you will have the opportunity to contribute to broader finance projects across the region, gaining exposure to the full P&L and a wide range of strategic and operational workstreams.

What you’ll do: The Recipe

• Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A): Lead COGs and packaging budgeting, forecasting, and month-end close for BNL and Nordics, incorporating inflation, menu mix dynamics, and specification changes.
• Variance Analysis & Cost Bridges: Conduct variance analysis and build cost bridges against budget and prior year—decomposing drivers like price inflation, volume, menu mix, waste, and yield loss for executive stakeholders.
• Business Partnering: Serve as the primary finance partner to Procurement, Menu Planning, and DC Operations to track supplier pricing, contract renewals, sustainability impacts, and operational performance.
• Automated Reporting Suite: Own and continuously improve the regional COGs reporting suite, including theoretical consumption models, cost-per-box assumptions, and DC-level cost tracking.
• Data Tooling & Technical Automation: Leverage SQL and Databricks to automate COGs data pipelines and eliminate manual reporting overhead.
• Theoretical vs. Actual Benchmarking: Monitor theoretical vs. delivered COGs performance to identify, explain, and mitigate gaps driven by operational waste, yield loss, and menu composition.
• Cross-Functional & Strategic Initiatives: Collaborate with central FP&A and broader finance teams on strategic projects, cross-functional efficiency drives, and continuous model improvement.
