• Monitor key performance indicators, identifying risks and opportunities and proactively recommending corrective actions.
• Partner with and support key stakeholders to assess financial impacts of transformation projects to support long-term business strategy.
• Support business cases for investment decisions, including ROI analysis and scenario modelling.
• Enhance FP&A processes, leveraging automation and best practices to improve efficiency and accuracy.

What you'll need:

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) experience in FP&A, commercial finance, or business partnering roles.
• Advanced financial modelling and analytical skills, with the ability to translate data into actionable insights.
• Experience in a PE-backed or technology-driven business is highly desirable.
• Proven track record of influencing senior stakeholders and driving commercial outcomes.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment with a hands-on approach.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with strong attention to detail and the ability to challenge and support senior stakeholders.
