What You'll Be Doing

• Acting as a trusted partner to the Group HR Director and leadership team
• Leading the monthly forecasting and annual budget processes for the HR function

• Ensuring compliance with SOX requirements and internal controls
• Running monthly budget reviews with HR to assess risks, opportunities, and forecast accuracy
  
  

Why join us?

• FTSE 100 stability with the feel of a close-knit team
• Hybrid working (2-3 days in our Crawley office), with excellent transport links and on-site parking
• Be part of a business that genuinely values its people — and backs it up with investment in career development and wellbeing
• Enjoy the best of both worlds: high-impact work, without the London grind

• Experience in management accounting, business partnering or FP&A
• Able to explain financials to non-finance stakeholders clearly and confidently
• Highly organised, detail-focused, and comfortable working to tight deadlines
• Previous experience supporting HR or central functions is a plus, but not essential
