  • Drive strategic decision-making by understanding market dynamics, competitive trends, and consumer behavior to uncover opportunities.

  • Champion commercial insight by rolling out ROI models, supporting promotional effectiveness, and partnering with Strategic Revenue Management to optimize pricing and portfolio mix.

  • Lead impactful projects—from major product launches to portfolio transformation initiatives, and ensure robust post-implementation reviews.

  • Fuel a value-creation mindset across cross-functional teams through digital tools, insightful reporting, and commercial acumen.

  • Upskill and inspire marketing stakeholders by enhancing financial literacy and encouraging use of Mars innovation toolkits for disruptive innovation with strong financial evaluation and storytelling.

What You'll Bring

  • A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Commerce, or a related field.

  • 3–5 years (for T2 level) or 7+ years of broad financial experience, including planning, forecasting, and commercial business partnering.

  • A passion for driving performance through data-led insights and strategy.

  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to translate numbers into strategic narratives.

  • Experience working cross-functionally—particularly in partnership with Marketing, Sales, or Category teams.

  • A proactive mindset, always seeking ways to simplify, improve, and add value.

What can you expect from Mars?

  • Genuine career progression with a focus on you and your career goals. Best-in-class learning and development support from day one, including access to our in-house Mars University.

  • Global health and wellbeing program to support flexibility and work-life balance.

  • Opportunity to make a difference with our volunteer and ambassador programs.

  • Be part of a company that is contributing to making the world a better place today and every day through on our sustainable generation plan.

  • A culture that offers collaboration, leadership and rewards you for the role you play within Mars.

  • At Mars Wrigley, take pride in your contribution in creating better moments for millions through our brands, to the way we source, make and market our products.
