Job description

Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Finance Analyst, ideally someone having just passed their ACCA, ACA, or CIMA qualification and is eager to apply their newly-acquired skills in a dynamic, commercially-focused environment.

This role splits into two vital areas:

• Commission Programmes (≈ 50%) — full ownership of internal and external commission schemes: from process design, calculation, controls, approvals, to insightful reporting, all while driving process optimization.
• Commercial Analytics & Business Partnering (≈ 50%) — leading ad hoc projects, developing dashboards and tools to support the sales team, and translating commercial performance into financial insight.

You will serve as a key liaison across Sales, Revenue Operations, Salesforce, and Finance (Accounting & FP&A), converting complex data into actionable strategy. It’s essential to be confident in Excel, Power BI (or similar), and able to challenge, collaborate, and influence non-finance stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end commission cycle—from scheme design and calculation through approval and reporting.
• Maintain robust models to ensure accurate, timely commission payments.
• Develop dashboards and tools in partnership with Sales and Revenue Ops to drive sales performance insights.
• Conduct analysis to support data-driven decision-making—revenue metrics, performance trends, forecasting.
• Identify process gaps and propose practical, scalable enhancements.
• Act as a strategic business partner to non-financial stakeholders, simplifying complex finance into clear, actionable insights.
• Support cross-functional projects with modeling, scenario analysis, and financial interpretation.

About You

• Just qualified (ACCA, ACA, or CIMA), with your certification awarded within the past 12 months.
• Experience in Commercial Finance, FP&A, or Business Partnering roles (internships, junior roles), showing strong analytical thinking.
• Advanced Excel capabilities and confidence handling large datasets.
• Experience with data visualization tools—Power BI preferred.
• A sharp eye for inefficiencies—ability to propose thoughtful improvements, not just maintain status quo.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills. Comfortable explaining financial concepts simply and effectively.
• Adaptable and proactive—thrives in fast-paced environments, energized by ambiguity and challenge.
