Job description

Join a high-performing, privately owned organisation with a strong reputation and long-standing success in the market. The business is financially stable, highly profitable, and currently undergoing a significant finance transformation, reshaping how finance partners with the wider business.

With a strong leadership team and a clear focus on commercial value‑add, this is an opportunity to be part of a forward‑thinking environment where finance plays a critical role in driving performance, supporting operations, and influencing key decision‑making.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Reporting to the GM FP&A, this Finance Business Partner role is a key position within a newly built FP&A function. You will partner closely with senior leaders across multiple business units, providing commercial insights, driving performance, and embedding finance into operational decision‑making.

This is not a traditional, process‑driven role — success in this position comes from your ability to navigate ambiguity, influence stakeholders, and become a trusted advisor to General Managers.

You will play a critical role in shaping financial planning, improving business performance, and driving the ongoing evolution of finance within the organisation.

DUTIES

• Partner with business leaders to drive strategic planning and performance outcomes


• Lead budgeting and forecasting processes across multiple business units


• Deliver commercial insights, scenario modelling, and financial analysis


• Build strong relationships with operational stakeholders and act as a trusted advisor


• Support investment decisions through business case development and analysis


• Drive continuous improvement across financial processes, systems, and reporting


• Contribute to transformation initiatives including new systems and planning tools


• Analyse key drivers of performance and identify opportunities to improve profitability

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• Experience in a Finance Business Partnering, Commercial Finance, or FP&A role


• Strong budgeting, forecasting, and financial modelling capability


• Advanced Excel skills with the ability to translate business problems into data‑driven solutions


• Proven ability to influence and engage non‑financial stakeholders


• Comfortable working in an evolving, ambiguous environment


• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills


• Experience in transformation environments or project work highly regarded


• Background in Big 4, mid‑tier, or commercial finance roles

ABOUT YOU

You are a commercially minded finance professional who thrives in a business‑facing role. You enjoy building relationships, influencing decisions, and becoming embedded within operations rather than working in a purely technical or back‑office capacity.

You are resilient, adaptable, and comfortable navigating change. You bring a proactive mindset, strong problem‑solving ability, and a genuine interest in driving business performance beyond the numbers.
