We're looking for an FP&A Manager to lead financial planning, forecasting and analysis for a well-established New Zealand business. This is a business-facing role with regular exposure to senior leadership. You'll own the numbers, but more importantly, you'll be trusted to challenge them.

About the role

You'll lead the annual budgeting and long-range planning process, manage rolling forecasts, and build the scenario and sensitivity models that help the business understand its options.

• Partnering with business leaders on investment decisions and business cases
• Delivering monthly and quarterly performance reporting, including variance analysis
• Driving improvement in forecast accuracy through better data and modelling
• Contributing to Finance improvement projects

What you'll bring

• 5+ years' experience in FP&A, commercial finance or business partnering, ideally with CA, CPA or CIMA qualification.
• Strong financial modelling and scenario analysis skills, with the ability to build robust business cases and clearly articulate assumptions, risks and outcomes
• Advanced Excel and strong data skills, ideally including Power Query and Power BI, plus genuine interest in using AI and technology to improve how Finance operates
• The ability to get into enough detail to trust the numbers, while still holding the bigger picture
