Job description

Salary Guide: c. £100,000 - £120,000 + Bonus + Benefits

REF: MR54139

Our client is a high-growth, extremely well funded, technology business that is building a cyber-security platform for the global telecoms industry. Backed by two major international shareholders, the business is now moving from early platform deployment into international commercialisation.

Description

This is a newly created Head of FP&A role at the analytical heart of the business, reporting into the CFO and taking ownership of FP&A across the Group. The remit spans budgeting, forecasting, financial modelling, commercial analysis, KPI reporting and business partnering, with significant exposure to the leadership team.

Skills

The successful candidate for this Head of FP&A role will be a qualified accountant, bringing strong experience from a high-growth technology, SaaS, telecoms or infrastructure environment, with excellent financial modelling skills and a track record of owning planning and forecasting cycles. You will be commercially minded, analytically rigorous and comfortable translating complex numbers into clear insight for senior non-financial stakeholders. This is effectively a well-funded start-up, so there are some initial separation headaches that need to be worked through. It requires someone up for a challenge, with a hands-on approach, as well as a level head and resilience.

This is an opportunity for an ambitious FP&A professional to join a business at an exciting stage of its growth, with genuine scope to shape the planning infrastructure, commercial decision-making and finance capability as the Group scales internationally.
