Finance Business Partner Job at Key Retail Group

Key Retail Group - From late-night supplier negotiations to overcoming Amazon compliance challenges, our journey has been nothing short of an adventure. We embrace the spirit of innovators and problem-solvers, but we also acknowledge the hard truths—supplier hiccups, shipping nightmares, and the occasional compliance curveball. Every great experiment has its failures, and we’ve had ours. But with an unwavering commitment to learning and growth, we dust ourselves off, recalibrate, and keep pushing forward. As a brand-building powerhouse, we thrive on competency, commitment, continuous learning, and teamwork - turning roadblocks into stepping stones. If you’ve made it this far, you probably already have an idea of what it takes to be one of us.
