Job Description:

Are you a commercially astute, data-driven Finance Business Partner ready to make a real impact?
Robert Half is thrilled to be exclusively partnering with a prestigious PLC based in Sutton Coldfield to appoint a high-calibre Finance Business Partner to join its central finance team. This is no ordinary role - it's a pivotal hire at the heart of a transformational journey that will shape the future of finance for a major listed business.

This is your chance to step into a highly visible, business-critical position that combines the power of data, systems, and strategic insight to influence key decisions at Group level. You'll be working alongside top-tier leadership and will be central to driving a shift from traditional, spreadsheet-led reporting to fully integrated, systemised FP&A excellence.

Why This Role Stands Out

Exceptional exposure to a major finance transformation programme, backed by executive sponsorship.

Be a key architect of the Group's new financial planning and reporting infrastructure.

Drive strategic decisions with your analytical mindset and data expertise.

A rare chance to genuinely shape best practice across a FTSE-level finance function.

Key Responsibilities

As a trusted Finance Business Partner, your core focus will be on empowering the business through data-led financial insight and systems innovation. You will:

Play a lead role in the implementation and continuous improvement of the Group's new planning and reporting systems.

Design, build, and deliver automated dashboards and reporting solutions using Power BI, enhancing visibility across performance metrics.

Consolidate and analyse financial data across multiple business units, delivering actionable insights to senior stakeholders.

Drive automation and reduce manual reporting inefficiencies, freeing up time for deeper strategic analysis.

Act as a change champion for digital FP&A - helping shift culture, upskill stakeholders, and embed smarter, tech-driven finance processes.

Collaborate with the FP&A Director and senior leadership to shape forecasting, budgeting, and business performance frameworks.

What You'll Bring

Proven ability to work with large, complex data sets and distil them into meaningful insights for non-finance stakeholders.

Advanced Excel and strong financial modelling skills.

A deep understanding of core FP&A disciplines - budgeting, forecasting, planning, and variance analysis.

Experience with Power BI, Tableau, or similar data visualisation tools.

A systems-first mindset, with a passion for driving improvement and innovation in finance processes.

Highly proactive, detail-oriented, and able to operate independently in a fast-paced, commercially driven environment.

This is a standout opportunity for a forward-thinking finance professional who thrives at the intersection of data, systems, and strategic insight. If you're eager to be at the forefront of change and make a real difference in a high-impact role - this is your moment.
