Job description

Our client, a global business based in Amsterdam, is seeking to hire a Finance Analyst (FP&A) to sit within the Global Functions finance team.

The role owns the monthly reporting cycle, rolling forecasts, and budget management across the global headquarters cost base. You will be responsible for actual versus budget reporting, variance analysis, and ensuring the integrity of the HQ P&L. On the planning side, you will coordinate the rolling forecast process, maintain submission templates, and develop Excel-based tools to support efficient and accurate financial planning. This is not a passive reporting role. You will be expected to monitor expenditure trends, proactively flag risks and opportunities, challenge spending where forecasts deviate from targets, and partner with functional stakeholders to provide meaningful financial insight that supports decision-making. There is also a continuous improvement dimension, with scope to enhance reporting quality, streamline forecasting processes, and improve financial controls.

The right person will have solid experience in financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting within a complex or international organisation. You will be comfortable working across functions, confident engaging with senior stakeholders, and naturally inclined to question the numbers rather than just present them. A hands‑on, detail‑oriented approach matters here, as does the ability to work at pace and manage competing priorities.

The role is based in Amsterdam with three days per week in the office, offering a salary of €70,000 to €80,000.
