• At least two years’ post-qualified experience in FP&A, commercial finance, management reporting or a related role.

• Strong analytical and financial modelling skills, with the ability to work with complex or imperfect data, identify performance drivers and distil clear conclusions.

• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, with experience building robust, transparent and auditable models and reporting tools.

• Experience developing or improving FP&A tools, models and processes.

• Experience working in a multi-site or multi-entity environment; experience in data centres, infrastructure or a related sector would be advantageous.

• A commercially curious mindset, strong attention to detail and the ability to connect detailed analysis to the bigger picture.

• A proactive, hands-on and resourceful approach, with confidence taking ownership as priorities evolve.

• Clear communication skills and the ability to explain complex financial analysis to both finance and non-finance audiences.

• A collaborative and resilient approach, with a strong continuous improvement mindset.
