About Us A career at Hitachi Rail will help create a legacy. With operations in every corner of the world, our work goes to the cutting-edge of digital transformation and technology. From the multi-cultural strength of our global organisation to the sustainable and innovative ways we work to bring people together, there’s something for everyone to get stuck into. And that’s where you come in.

Job Description: Your new role This position combines strong FP&A knowledge with governance, process management, project delivery, and stakeholder leadership capabilities to strengthen consistency, transparency, and efficiency across Group planning and reporting activities. The role is expected to take ownership of defined governance and transformation workstreams, coordinate cross-functional and regional stakeholders, and provide constructive challenge where requirements or standards are not being met. Success requires the ability to operate independently in a fast-evolving and often ambiguous environment, translate strategic priorities into practical actions, and identify opportunities to improve, standardize, and digitalize FP&A processes. This role is open to hybrid or home working.

Duties and Responsibilities: Lead the implementation and ongoing maintenance of selected FP&A governance frameworks, policies, and procedures. Oversee adherence to Group planning, forecasting, and reporting requirements, proactively identifying and escalating gaps. Coordinate compliance with corporate finance calendars, deadlines, submission standards, and governance expectations. Own and maintain FP&A process maps, RACI matrices, governance documentation, and operating procedures for assigned processes. Identify, assess, and prioritize opportunities for process standardization, automation, and simplification. Lead or coordinate defined FP&A transformation and digitalization initiatives from design through implementation and adoption. Develop and coordinate communications, training materials, workshops, and stakeholder engagement activities. Manage project plans, milestones, actions, risks, dependencies, and deliverables, ensuring timely follow-up and escalation. Support post-acquisition integration and process harmonization activities, coordinating inputs across relevant stakeholders. Act as a key FP&A point of contact between Group FP&A and regional and local teams, promoting alignment and consistent ways of working. Lead the resolution of complex reporting, process, and governance issues, involving relevant stakeholders as required. Provide guidance and constructive challenge on FP&A processes, deadlines, controls, and governance expectations. Prepare analysis, recommendations, and governance‑related reporting for senior stakeholders and decision‑making forums.

Key Skills & Experience Hands‑on, proactive approach with the ability to work independently and take ownership. Strong attention to detail, data accuracy, and quality of execution. Strong organizational, coordination, and project delivery skills across multiple priorities. Strong stakeholder management, influencing, and communication skills within international organizations. Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate complex issues into clear actions and recommendations. Ability to operate effectively in dynamic and fast‑changing environments with limited structure or guidance. Strong understanding of international matrix organizations and cross‑functional ways of working. Experience in process improvement, standardization, governance, or finance transformation. Knowledge of Power BI or other data visualization tools is desirable.

Essential Requirements Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and proficiency in other Microsoft 365 applications. Strong understanding of financial controls, governance principles, and FP&A processes.

Desirable Formal project management, continuous improvement, or change management training. Experience with OneStream, SAP, Hyperion, Anaplan, or similar enterprise performance management tools would be preferred.

Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, or a related discipline. A relevant professional qualification, or progress towards one, such as ACCA, CIMA, or CFA, would be desirable. Proven relevant experience in FP&A, Controlling, Reporting, Audit, Business Analysis, Project Management, Finance Transformation, or a related field. Experience in multinational organizations, including coordination across regional or local finance teams.
