• Analysing trends, risks and opportunities across the business
• Developing forecasting models, reporting tools and planning processes
• Supporting finance transformation, automation and process improvement initiatives
• Managing and developing a Finance Analyst

The person:

You'll ideally have 3+ years' experience within Finance Business Partnering, Commercial Finance or FP&A, together with strong commercial and analytical skills.

You should be comfortable challenging and influencing senior operational stakeholders and able to turn complex financial information into clear commercial insight.

Experience within a multi-site retail, hospitality, leisure, travel or similarly operational environment would be particularly relevant.

You'll also ideally have:

• Strong budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling experience
• Advanced Excel skills
• Experience working with operational KPIs and large datasets
• Exposure to labour/productivity analysis and forecasting
