Role Purpose

The Senior Finance Analyst is the analytical engine of the Group finance function. The role converts financial and operational data into insight that management can act on — through the planning cycle, the monthly performance review, and the models that underpin strategic decisions.

Positioned at Group level with visibility across all regional entities and business units, the role combines rigorous financial analysis with genuine commercial partnering, and carries responsibility for improving how the finance function delivers that analysis.

Key Scope and Responsibilities

• Planning, Budgeting & Forecasting — Lead the annual budgeting cycle across all business units and entities, and maintain rolling forecasts and cash flow projections.
• Performance Reporting, Analysis & Insight — Own the monthly management reporting pack and operating data set. Analyse actual performance against budget and forecast, flag key risks and cost concerns, and bring management clear recommendations.
• Financial Modelling & Scenario Analysis — Build projection models at Group and entity level, and run scenarios to support decisions on cost, financing, headcount and investment.
• Cash Flow & Working Capital — Monitor Group cash position and working capital performance, including receivables ageing, collections and payment cycles, and flag funding requirements to management.
• Cost Control & Operating Efficiency — Track headcount and operating expenditure against budget, analyse cost drivers across entities, and support cost optimisation and productivity initiatives.
• Business Partnering — Work with department heads and country leads so budget ownership sits with the business.
• Finance Transformation — Drive automation and efficiency across finance workflows, including reporting automation, template standardisation and removal of manual processes.
• Corporate Support — Support month-end close, due diligence, M&A and integration activity, and ad hoc analysis for management.

Requirements

• Degree in Finance or Accounting with CPA / ACCA / CA / MIA qualification
• Minimum 5 years' post-qualification experience — Big 4 audit background with subsequent in-house FP&A experience is strongly preferred
• Demonstrable FP&A track record covering budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis and management reporting, ideally in a multi-entity or regional structure
• Strong PowerPoint and deck-building capability — able to structure and deliver a management-grade presentation
• Effective in a fast-moving environment with competing priorities

What We Offer

• Competitive package
• Direct exposure to Group leadership and regional decision-making
• Genuine scope to shape the FP&A function and the systems behind it
