• Produce ad-hoc analysis as requested by both finance and non-finance stakeholders and run common routine processes.
• Become an SME on finance data architecture, working with the Finance Systems, IT and commercial teams to improve data quality and structure which will enable improved analysis.
• Work with Group Financial Reporting and Internal Controls teams to resolve issues and improve processes.
• Ensure that detailed budgets are set and reported against that align to the coming year’s financial targets.
• Investigate the use of AI to improve forecasts and identify trends and actions.

Experience Required

• 1-3 years in FP&A or a related role involving financial modelling and analysis.
• Track record of engaging across multi-disciplinary functions and targeting the audience when reporting financial information.

Experience Preferred

• Analytical skill.
• Attention to detail.
• Communication.
• Tenacious problem solver.

Career development and opportunities

• The Finance Analyst role offers career progression within finance (or elsewhere if desired), potentially leading to positions like Finance Business Partner or Finance Systems Analyst (both within the FP&A team), or various Management Accountant roles across the wider Group Finance team.
• Continued learning and professional development will be supported.
• Potential to recruit and line manage a trainee analyst in the future.
