The Opportunity

This is a broad, commercially focused finance role where you'll play a key part in supporting strategic growth through accurate financial planning, robust analysis and meaningful reporting. You'll work across multiple business functions, partnering with operational and commercial teams to deliver insight that supports informed business decisions.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the annual budgeting and forecasting processes across the business.
  • Develop financial models and scenario analysis to support strategic and commercial decision-making.
  • Produce high-quality monthly management reporting with insightful analysis and commentary.
  • Identify business trends, risks and opportunities, providing recommendations to senior stakeholders.
  • Design and enhance reporting tools and dashboards using Excel and Power BI.
  • Drive continuous improvement in reporting, automation and financial processes.
  • Partner with commercial and operational teams to support business cases, investment decisions and strategic initiatives.
  • Provide financial oversight of key commercial reporting activities.
  • Mentor and support colleagues while contributing to the ongoing development of the finance function.
About You

To be successful in this role, you'll be a commercially minded qualified accountant who enjoys partnering with stakeholders and using financial information to influence business performance.

You'll ideally have:

  • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification.
  • Significant experience within Commercial Finance, FP&A or Management Reporting.
  • Proven experience leading budgeting and forecasting processes.
  • Strong commercial acumen with excellent analytical skills.
  • Advanced Excel modelling skills and experience using Power BI.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience improving reporting processes and financial insight.
  • Previous leadership or mentoring experience would be advantageous.
What's on Offer
  • A senior, commercially focused finance position with real business influence.
  • Exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making.
  • The opportunity to shape reporting and FP&A processes within a growing international business.
  • Hybrid working and a collaborative working environment.
  • Excellent long-term career progression and development opportunities.

If you're an ambitious Commercial Finance or FP&A professional looking for a role where your analysis and insight will genuinely influence business performance, we'd love to hear from you.
