About the role

We are seeking a motivated Finance Analyst to join our high-performing Finance Business Partnering team. As part of the Finance Transformation programme, you'll help drive key initiatives to completion, delivering strategic financial analysis, clear insight and robust decision support to Operational leaders and other key functions.

Support on P&L reporting and monthly financial analysis across the portfolio. Act as additional bandwidth within the team to alleviate any bottleneck. Work closely with Operational and Contract Management teams to support and challenge forecasts, accruals, and cost breakdowns. Perform variance and trend analysis, proactively identifying risks and opportunities. Support the Finance Business Partners in preparing presentations for Regional Business Reviews, budgets, and reforecasts. Contribute to process improvements and help guide non-finance colleagues with clear, actionable financial insights.
