Supporting a diverse and complex operational environment, the business is investing in new technology, data capability and reporting infrastructure to strengthen financial decision-making across the organisation. This is an exciting time to join, offering the opportunity to contribute to major change initiatives while developing highly sought-after FP&A, systems and business intelligence expertise.

The Opportunity

Reporting into the FP&A leadership team, you'll work across finance transformation, reporting, budgeting and business intelligence initiatives.

• Play a key role in the implementation and optimisation of a new Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) platform, helping translate existing FP&A processes into future-state solutions.
• Lead the development of Power BI dashboards, reporting solutions and self-service analytics, including maintaining datasets, data models and reporting frameworks.
• Support month-end reporting, budgeting and forecasting processes, delivering meaningful financial insights to support decision-making.
• Manage annual budget and forecast rollovers, including maintaining planning assumptions, reporting hierarchies and system structures.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives, identifying opportunities to streamline, automate and enhance finance processes and reporting.
• Perform financial analysis and modelling to support organisational planning, performance reporting and strategic decision-making.
• Partner with finance and operational stakeholders to develop reporting solutions and provide support across a small business partnering portfolio.
• Contribute to the organisation's broader finance transformation agenda, helping redesign and simplify long-standing budgeting, forecasting and reporting processes.

About You

You’ll likely bring:

• 3-5+ years’ experience in FP&A, Commercial Finance or Financial Analyst positions
• Strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting and management reporting
• Previous hands-on experience with Power Query and DAX is essential, as you will be developing reporting solutions, managing datasets and building Power BI dashboards from scratch.
• Experience working with large and complex datasets
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills
• A proactive approach to problem solving and continuous improvement

Benefits

• Opportunity to influence how processes are built rather than simply operating within existing frameworks.
• Simplify, improve and rebuild long-standing finance processes from the ground up
• Major finance transformation project exposure
• Build advanced Power BI and reporting capability
• Exposure to systems implementation and change management
• Hybrid working environment | 3 days in office, 2 days WFH

• 6 Management Days Off (MDOs) annually
• Collaborative and supportive finance leadership team

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded FP&A Analyst who wants to combine finance, data, systems and transformation experience in one role.
