The difference you’ll make

• Build influential relationships across business functions, embedding yourself to become the go-to expert for financial matters, deal structuring, and strategic negotiations.

• Develop and own robust financial frameworks for major investment initiatives, managing the process from initial financial due diligence and business case preparation through to post-investment review.

• Evaluate risk and build business cases, collaborating with cross-functional teams to structure commercial arrangements and present recommendations to executive leadership.

• Establish tracking and performance reporting to monitor capital deployment against budget, evaluate deal performance, and measure overall strategy effectiveness.

Your skillset:

• Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with post-qualification experience in commercial finance or FP&A.

• Demonstrable success in a commercial finance business partnering or FP&A role, ideally within a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

• Experience working with high volumes of complex data with the aptitude to distil granular detail and convey simple, clear insights to stakeholders.

• Comfortable with ambiguity and thrives on the challenge of building out new processes and capabilities in a 'greenfield' setting.

• Clear understanding of key profitability levers, commercial deal structures, and financial governance.
