You'll play an important role in helping the business understand its financial performance and outlook, while providing analysis that supports strategic and investment decisions. You'll work closely with senior Finance leadership, Finance Business Partners and the M&A team, with exposure to the Board and private equity investors.
What you'll be doing

- Turn complex financial information into clear, concise and commercially relevant insight for senior stakeholders.
- Work with Finance leadership to develop the financial narrative around business performance and future outlook.
- Continuously improve the quality, efficiency and automation of management and Board reporting.
3. Long-Term Planning & Strategic Modelling
- Maintain and develop the Group's five-year financial model.
- Model the financial impact of strategic initiatives, operational changes, recruitment, commercial opportunities and other key assumptions.
- Develop scenarios and sensitivities to support strategic decision-making.
- Link financial plans and models to the wider business strategy and value creation agenda.
- Support senior Finance leadership with ad hoc strategic analysis and modelling.
4. M&A & Commercial Analysis
- Work closely with the M&A team to provide financial analysis and modelling throughout the acquisition process.
- Work closely with the financial controller so that balance sheet/integration handover is done well.
- Build and review financial due diligence models, including underlying EBITDA analysis, risks, synergies and quality of earnings adjustments.

- Act as a trusted source of financial insight for Finance and non-Finance stakeholders.
