Description
Role Purpose
As a Commercial Finance Business Partner – Sales, you are a key driver of commercial performance and strategic growth — not a traditional finance function. You operate at the intersection of sales and finance, translating data into actionable commercial insights that directly influence decision-making, profitability, and market competitiveness.
You proactively challenge, support, and enable the sales organization to deliver sustainable growth by optimizing pricing, customer portfolios, investments, and resource allocation. Through forward-looking analysis and close collaboration with sales leadership, you ensure that commercial decisions are value-creating, strategically aligned, and performance-driven.
This role is about shaping the business — not reporting on it.

Be a true partner to Sales
- Work closely with Sales to support both day‑to‑day decisions and long‑term plans.
- Participate in commercial meetings as the financial voice of the team.
- Challenge assumptions and drive fact-based, value-creating decisions.
- Collaborate with Marketing, Supply Chain and other functions to ensure a holistic view of the business.
Commercial Performance Management
