Job description

We're looking for a Finance Analyst who's curious, detail-driven, and ready to make an impact. If you love turning data into insights, finding smarter ways to do things, and working with great people across the business - this could be the perfect next step for you.

You’ll start by owning the Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) process, so experience in this area is key. From there, you’ll dive into a variety of financial operations - from reporting and process improvement to system optimisation and cross-team projects.

Your work will help us boost efficiency, sharpen data accuracy, and empower better decision-making right across the organisation.

Why Parkdean Resorts?

• A 50% discount for you and a 25% discount for friends and family when booking your holiday with us.
• A team member discount of 30%, available on everything from fabulous food to delicious drinks and even our fun leisure activities.
• Score awesome discounts! From tasty meal kits like Hello Fresh to your favourite local gyms, we've got deals on lots of brands just for you.

What you will be doing...

• Partnering with stakeholders to understand and enhance end-to-end financial processes, with a focus on data integrity and process efficiency.
• Delivering weekly analytical insights to support accurate cost allocation and high-quality financial reporting.
• Tracking performance against financial KPIs and identifying trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
• Investigating and resolving cost coding anomalies and supporting automation initiatives to improve data accuracy.
• Facilitating cross-functional collaboration to resolve financial queries and ensure alignment on reporting and forecasting.
• Reviewing financial data to ensure alignment with budget and pricing agreements.
• Supporting system and process enhancements across finance and IT platforms, with a focus on streamlining workflows and reducing manual intervention.
• Producing timely and accurate weekly, monthly, and ad-hoc financial reports to support decision-making.
• Promoting a culture of professionalism, performance, and continuous improvement within the Finance team.

Some of the skills and experience we are looking for:

• Previous experience in Accounts Payable is essential.
• Strong attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Comfortable working with data and financial systems.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across teams.
• Advanced Excel user with a focus on streamlining data workflows and improving accuracy.
