The role would suit a recent graduate or early-career analyst who is ambitious, quick to learn, and energised by the idea of building deep expertise in a complex, fast-moving business. You'll report to the Group FP&A Director.

Challenge assumptions and influence key decisions through scenario modelling and delivering actionable commercial insight. Lead the month-end close process in partnership with management accountants to ensure accuracy and timeliness of financial results. What you bring: To excel as a Finance Business Partner in this environment, you will bring proven experience from similar roles where your analytical abilities have been matched by your capacity for building trusted relationships with senior leaders. Your background should include significant exposure to customer-centric operations-ideally within high-volume sectors-where your insights have contributed directly to enhancing service delivery or reducing costs. A recognised accounting qualification such as CIMA or ACCA or ACA is essential along with demonstrable post-qualification experience that showcases your technical expertise. Beyond technical skills, your ability to communicate complex information simply-and influence outcomes through collaboration-will set you apart. Familiarity with regulated industries would be advantageous but is not mandatory; what matters most is your readiness to engage constructively with colleagues at all levels while maintaining focus on shared goals. Your commitment to continuous learning will be supported by access to formal courses as well as informal mentoring opportunities within an inclusive culture that values every individual's contribution. Qualified accountant (CIMA or ACCA or ACA) with substantial post-qualification experience demonstrating technical proficiency in finance roles. Proven track record of partnering effectively with senior stakeholders to influence decision making at both operational and strategic levels. Experience working alongside customer operations teams within high-volume environments where commercial insight has led to improved customer experience and cost-to-serve reductions. Exceptional commercial awareness combined with advanced financial acumen enabling you to identify value creation opportunities. Demonstrated ability to translate complex datasets into clear narratives that drive action among non-financial audiences. Outstanding communication skills complemented by strong stakeholder management capabilities across diverse teams. Experience operating within regulated industries is highly desirable but not essential for success in this position.
