Descrizione del lavoro

Anderson Knight are delighted to be supporting our market leading client, coming to market for an experienced FP&A Senior Manager to head up the financial planning and analysis function within one of its highly regulated businesses.

Taking accountability for all consolidated financial plans, forecasts and performance reporting, you will ensure Finance sits at the heart of strategic decision making, using robust scenario planning and high quality analysis to guide the business.

The organisation is growing in scale and complexity, so this is a chance to shape and embed planning processes that fit a larger and more demanding environment, not simply to run existing ones. You will champion a forward looking, insight led finance culture in which leaders receive the right information at the right time to make confident decisions. Your influence will be critical to delivering consistency, clarity and control across every aspect of financial planning and reporting.

The role is a fixed 12-month engagement.

• Forecasting: Develop and manage a rolling forecast and reforecasting cycle that balances long-term planning with short-term agility.
• Management reporting: Own delivery of the monthly management information pack, ensuring accuracy, consistency and insightful commentary on performance, risks and opportunities.
• Senior leadership support: Support senior leaders with board-level reporting, ad hoc performance deep dives and regular performance updates.
• Business analysis: Provide a broad range of analysis, including scenario planning, to inform decisions and surface opportunities for improvement.
• Capex and opex forecasting: Own business-wide capital and operating expenditure forecasts that feed the 10-year plan, regulatory returns and commercial sensitivities, and deliver scenario analysis to support strategic choices.
• Process governance: Set and own timetables, governance and process standards for all planning and reporting activity.
• Team leadership: Lead and develop a team of finance professionals, building a high-performing and collaborative culture.
• Cross-functional alignment: Work with Business Partnering, Financial Control and Regulatory Finance to align timelines, assumptions and outputs across the wider finance function.

Candidate Profile

• Fully qualified accountant (recognised accounting body) with substantial experience in an FP&A management role.
• Proven ability to interpret and combine multiple data sources, including external market and regulatory data, and turn them into clear insight, recommendations and actions.
• Strong background in a project driven business, with an understanding of contract management, project delivery and the financial planning that supports them.
• Track record of communicating financial performance to senior colleagues in a way that drives better decisions.
• Ability to manage multiple complex projects and processes at the same time.

Package and Benefits

• Excellent salary plus performance-related bonus
• Hybrid working with flexible working options
• Discounted private healthcare and gym membership
• Wellbeing support, including a free online GP service and 24/7 counselling
