• Work closely with FP&A, Risk and other Finance teams to ensure consistent data and reporting
• Identify process improvement opportunities and contribute to automation initiatives
• Balance multiple stakeholder requests while maintaining high quality and timely output

What you’ll bring: 

• Demonstrated experience in a finance business partnering, FP&A or Commercial Finance role with exposure to cost management, budgeting and performance analysis
• Strong experience supporting budgeting, forecasting and management reporting processes
• Strong analytical and financial modelling skills with the ability to translate drivers into clear commercial insights
• Confidence working with operational and product stakeholders
• Ability to influence senior stakeholders and communicate financial insights clearly to non-finance audiences
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage competing deadlines
