The Role

You will play a key role in bringing financial structure and clarity to complex business challenges, developing robust financial models, business cases and scenario analysis to support senior management decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain financial models, business cases, scenario analysis and sensitivity analysis to assess strategic and inorganic opportunities.
  • Quantify financial impacts and provide analysis to support key business decisions.
  • Provide financial analysis and modelling across transformation programmes, including assessing costs, savings and overall financial impact.
  • Track financial performance against agreed business cases and transformation objectives.
  • Identify variances against expected outcomes and quantify the resulting financial impact.
  • Provide strategic and commercial analysis to evaluate opportunities and different business options.
  • Partner with Finance and wider cross-functional stakeholders to validate and challenge assumptions.

  • Deliver ad hoc analysis in response to emerging business requirements.
  • Identify opportunities to improve reporting, processes and data-driven decision-making.

About You

  • Strong financial modelling and analytical skills, with experience working with, structuring and cleansing data from multiple sources.
  • Experience with data visualisation tools.
  • Commercially minded, with the ability to identify key drivers of business performance.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex financial and technical concepts to non-finance audiences.
  • Experience supporting inorganic growth opportunities; M&A experience would be highly advantageous.
  • Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of deliverables.
  • Able to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment with multiple stakeholders and evolving requirements.
  • Strong attention to detail alongside an understanding of the wider commercial picture.
