This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2421 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £49,200, and Stanton House is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 1131 (Financial managers and directors, Manages a cost base and develops a Finance Analyst, but main role is business partnering not management) or SOC 2422 (Finance and investment analysts and advisers, Commercial analysis and insight work, but requires qualified accountant status). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Finance Manager
FTC (15 month)
£70k - £80k
Location: London (Hybrid)
I’m currently working with a high-profile, internationally recognised consumer business that is looking for a Finance Manager to join its commercial finance team on a 15-month maternity cover.
This is a genuinely broad commercial finance role, offering the opportunity to work closely with senior stakeholders across marketing, subscriptions, sales and editorial/content, providing insight that directly influences investment, growth and performance.
The role
You’ll act as a key finance business partner across several high-profile areas of the business, taking ownership of budgeting, forecasting, commercial analysis and performance reporting.
The role will involve:
- Leading the budget and forecasting cycles across multiple areas of responsibility.
- Business partnering with senior stakeholders across marketing, sales, subscriptions and content.
- Developing KPIs, reporting and scenario analysis to support a growing subscription proposition.
- Providing commercial insight around pricing, margin and promotional activity.
- Owning and managing a significant cost base, working with senior leaders to understand trends, challenge spend and identify efficiencies.
- Building and challenging business cases and investment proposals, ensuring they are financially robust.
- Providing proactive analysis to identify risks, opportunities and areas for growth.
- Using data and technology to improve reporting, automation and finance processes, including exploring the use of AI.
- Managing and developing a Finance Analyst, with additional oversight across wider finance support.
- Supporting senior finance leadership with strategic and ad hoc analysis.
What we're looking for
You’ll be a fully qualified accountant with strong post-qualified experience and a proven track record in commercial finance and business partnering.
You'll ideally bring:
- Strong commercial finance / FP&A experience.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills and the confidence to work with senior non-finance leaders.
- Strong Excel and financial modelling capability.
- Experience across budgeting, forecasting, scenario modelling and investment analysis.
- A proactive, analytical approach with the ability to move between detailed analysis and the bigger commercial picture.
- The confidence to challenge, influence and communicate financial risks and opportunities.
- A genuine interest in improving processes and finding smarter, more automated ways of working.
Experience within media, digital, marketing or subscription-led businesses would be advantageous, but isn't essential.

The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 2421 going rate of £49,200. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
