About the Role
This is a high-impact senior position sitting at the heart of Myprotein's commercial decision-making. You'll act as the primary finance business partner to the commercial leadership team, owning the financial narrative across pricing, promotions, margin, and DTC trading performance. You'll be expected to challenge, advise, and influence — not just report.
As a Head of Finance for Nutrition you will:
- Own the end-to-end commercial finance function for MyProtein, covering DTC trading, promotional investment, pricing strategy, and margin management
- Partner closely with the Commercial, Marketing, and Trading teams to provide real-time financial insight that drives decisions, not just informs them
- Lead financial modelling and investment appraisal for new commercial deals, partnerships, product launches, and market expansions
- Build and maintain robust pricing frameworks, ensuring promotional activity delivers against margin and revenue targets
- Drive the monthly commercial performance review, translating trading data into clear P&L impact and actionable recommendations for senior leadership
- Develop and evolve DTC-specific financial reporting, including customer acquisition cost (CAC), lifetime value (LTV), and contribution margin analysis
- Work with central FP&A and the broader finance team to ensure commercial inputs are accurately reflected in budgets, forecasts, and long-range plans
- Lead, coach, and develop a small team of finance analysts
- Identify and champion opportunities to improve commercial profitability, challenge inefficiencies, and support the business in prioritising the right bets
Requirements:
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with significant post-qualification experience
- Proven background in commercial finance, ideally within an ecommerce, retail, or consumer brand environment
- Strong understanding of DTC business models — including digital trading dynamics, promotional mechanics, and online margin drivers
- Experience structuring and evaluating commercial deals, with the confidence to push back where the numbers don't stack up
- Highly analytical, with the ability to distil complex data into clear, concise insight for non-finance stakeholders
- Commercially curious — you understand the business, not just the spreadsheet
- Confident communicator who can influence at Senior Manager and Director level
- Experience managing or mentoring junior team members
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities shift and pace matters
