Commercial Finance Manager (m/f/d)

 

We are looking for a Commercial Finance Manager to strengthen our commercial partnership in the Swiss market and support long-term growth with sustainable value creation. The Swiss commercial and regulatory environment for tobacco and nicotine products is complex and evolving quickly. Getting investment allocation right across commercial channels, touchpoints and product categories requires strong financial rigour, structured challenge and clear decision support.  

 

This role is accountable for building the financial framework and business partnering discipline that enables better commercial investment decisions across Combustibles and RRP. The Commercial Finance Manager will partner primarily with the Consumer Journey Manager as the key Marketing SPOC, while working closely with Brand/Portfolio, Activation, Digital/D2C and Sales/Channel leads. The role will lead the financial evaluation, scenario modelling and post-investment review process; Marketing, Sales and Management will remain accountable for final investment decisions and execution. Success will be measured through stronger investment governance, clearer trade-offs, increased transparency on ROI/ROO, and evidence of spend being reallocated towards higher-value opportunities. 

 

Position:

1.Investment ROI/ROO Framework 

• Design and implement frameworks for evaluating commercial and trade investment across channels, with a clear ROI approach for Combustibles and ROO approach for RRP

Requirements:

• University degree in Finance/Business; advanced qualification (CFA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) a plus 

• 4+ years in a commercial/business-partnering finance role (not pure FP&A/reporting) with demonstrable influence over investment or pricing decisions

• Strong financial modelling ability; comfortable building pricing and investment business cases from scratch

• Fluent English; German or French a strong plus for a Swiss market role
