Job summary

Volta is seeking an FP&A Manager in London to own near-term forecasting, variance analysis, and cash flow modeling across a multi-entity group. You will design forecasting cadence, balance sheet interactions, and SOX-adjacent controls in a fast-growth data center context.

The role emphasizes building robust models, managing 13-week cash forecasts, and delivering monthly actuals vs forecast and budget with clear commentary for senior leadership.

Qualifications

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), or equivalent depth in US GAAP-based modeling — this role requires genuine accounting fluency, not just spreadsheet fluency
• 5+ years in FP&A, with demonstrable ownership of short-range cash forecasting and variance analysis in a capital-intensive or high-burn environment
• Experience in multi-entity, multi-currency groups; comfort with intercompany flows and FX in forecasting
• Strong grasp of accrual accounting mechanics: able to build a three-statement model that ties to the trial balance and explain timing versus rate versus volume variances
• Advanced Excel; experience with leading ERPs is strongly preferred
• Comfort with ambiguity and zero-to-one process building; you write clearly and present numbers that go to the board without rework

Responsibilities

• Own the rolling 13-week cash flow forecast across all group entities and currencies (GBP, USD, EUR, NOK), including AP outflows, payroll, project payments, and intercompany funding
• Run a monthly and quarterly P&L reforecast cycle covering opex, capex, headcount, and cash runway, with clear bridges to the prior forecast
• Produce consolidated cash and burn reporting for the VP of Accounting, CFO, board, and investors, and manage runway scenarios against the funding plan
• Deliver monthly actuals-vs-forecast and actuals-vs-budget variance analysis at entity, department, and project level, with root-cause commentary
• Track project-level cost variances on data center deployments against approved budgets and purchase commitments
• Build and maintain the group's operating and financial model on a US GAAP basis, consistent with the group's technical accounting positions (capitalization policy, ASC 842 lease accounting, project-finance debt, share-based compensation)
• Model the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow impacts of major transactions: site acquisitions, colocation and lease commitments, GPU financing, debt drawdowns, and equity events
• Establish variance thresholds, escalation routes, and reporting formats that will stand up as SOX-adjacent management review controls
• Define the FP&A calendar, templates, and data model, and contribute to ERP design during the NetSuite implementation
