This role offers variety, influence, and challenge, spanning monthly Group reporting, the Annual Business Plan and biannual external market reporting that respond to evolving organisational priorities. Your work will be seen, valued, and relied upon.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead the Group consolidation, analysis, and monthly management reporting process, delivering clear, insightful and timely reporting on performance and key business drivers.
• Manage and support FP&A team members (internal and outsourced), while remaining hands on with critical reporting submissions.
• Drive delivery of the annual Group Operational Plan, including 5-year financial forecasts and Board level reporting.
