Our platform connects technology resellers and service providers to the best IT, Comms and Cloud products and services so they can create brilliant technology solutions for UK businesses. We’re looking for a Head of FP&A to lead the evolution of FP&A and insight at Giacom — moving beyond traditional reporting into a forward‑looking, data‑led and highly commercial function. This role owns Group‑wide budgeting, forecasting, and strategic planning, while also setting the direction for how data, BI and analytics are used to drive better decisions. You’ll play a central role in a data acceleration journey, bringing financial and operational data into one place and transforming it into high‑impact insight for the Executive Team and wider business. As we build FP&A fit for the future, you’ll help shape how we leverage advanced analytics and emerging AI capabilities to improve forecasting accuracy, scenario modelling, and performance management. This is a unique opportunity to define the future of Group FP&A, influencing not just the numbers, but how the business uses insight to grow profitably and intelligently. The role is Bristol‑based and requires regular travel to London and other Giacom office locations to work closely with senior stakeholders and operate as a trusted senior financial partner across the Group. What you'll be doing Own Group‑wide planning, budgeting, and forecasting, aligning strategic targets with business unit plans and ensuring robust capital, cash, and liquidity forecasting. Lead the evolution of FP&A, data and reporting, integrating modern BI, advanced analytics and automation to deliver a forward‑looking, decision‑led finance function with a clear single source of truth. Deliver Executive‑level performance management and insight, providing clear financial narratives across P&L, cash, balance sheet and KPIs, with strong commercial and operational context. Act as a senior business partner to the Executive Team, challenging assumptions and enabling informed trade‑off decisions across growth, margin, investment, and cash. Provide investment governance and strategic decision support, including appraisal, prioritisation and post‑investment review of major programmes, M&A, and strategic initiatives. Embed strong financial governance, controls and risk management, ensuring planning processes are robust, auditable, and resilient, with continuous improvement in forecasting accuracy and discipline. Your Experience Significant experience in FP&A and / or Commercial Finance, including senior‑level responsibility within a Group FP&A or complex multi‑entity environment. Proven experience operating at scale, with ownership or influence over large P&Ls (c. £300m+), complex revenue models, and consolidated Group reporting. Strong capability across planning, forecasting, advanced financial modelling, investment appraisal (ROI/IRR/NPV) and cash forecasting. Experience in telecoms, technology, media, private equity or other subscription‑led / capital‑intensive sectors is advantageous. Comfortable working with ERP, planning, and BI tools (e.g. NetSuite, Oracle, Anaplan, Adaptive, Power BI, Tableau) and partnering with data and analytics teams. Demonstrated ability to translate complex data into clear, compelling insight, influencing Executive‑level decision‑making through strong financial storytelling. Confident operating with ambiguity and autonomy, setting direction for FP&A and insight rather than simply following established processes. What's in it for you? Flexible working.
