Finance Manager – Cost of Acquisition

About the Role

We’re looking for a Finance Manager - Cost of Acquisition to support Dyson’s global commercial decision-making across 39 markets. This role focuses on analysing the effectiveness of commercial terms and selective promotional investments, uncovering drivers of performance, and enabling disciplined, ROI-led investment decisions that balance growth, margin, and long-term value creation.

This is a high-impact, analytics-driven position that partners closely with commercial and finance teams to provide insight on how commercial terms and promotions influence revenue, margin, and sustainable growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Commercial Performance Analysis: Lead analytical reviews of revenue and sales performance, with a primary focus on the impact of commercial terms (rebates, incentives, discounts) and selective consumer-facing promotions across customers and channels.
• Market & Customer Insight: Partner with local and global commercial teams to analyse how 39 distinct markets deploy commercial terms and promotions, identifying patterns, structural differences, and key drivers of performance across customer accounts.
• Investment Effectiveness & ROI: Develop and apply robust analytical frameworks to evaluate the effectiveness of commercial terms (e.g. rebates, incentives, discounts), assessing ROI, incrementality, and cost efficiency to distinguish value-creating structures from those that primarily subsidise base demand.
• Pre- and Post-Investment Assessment: Support fact-based decision-making by assessing proposed commercial terms and promotions ahead of execution and conducting post-event performance reviews to highlight optimisation opportunities.
• Performance Measurement: Apply consistent metrics and benchmarks to track the performance of commercial terms and promotions, identifying areas to stop, reshape, or reallocate spend based on results.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with sales, account management, and finance teams as a trusted analytical business partner, sharing insights and recommendations to support commercial decisions.
• Reporting & Data Analysis: Use OneStream, Excel, and PowerPoint to deliver deep-dive analysis, clear visualisation, and concise executive-level reporting across global leadership.
• Global Stakeholder Engagement: Work closely with regional and market stakeholders across Europe, Asia, and the Americas to ensure insights are locally relevant while enabling global comparability.

About You

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Economics, or a related field (required)
• Experience:
  • 7-8+ years in commercial finance, sales finance, analytics, or finance business partnering
  • Experience analysing pricing, commercial terms, incentives, or promotional effectiveness
  • Proven ability to influence commercial decisions through data and insight
  • Experience working in a global, multi-market environment preferred
• Capabilities:
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills (required)
  • Hands-on experience with financial systems (e.g. OneStream, SAP, or similar)
  • Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills with attention to detail
  • Confident communicator, comfortable engaging senior stakeholders
  • Able to operate effectively in a dynamic, complex matrix organisation
