Ocean Infinity is seeking a Head of Financial Planning & Analysis.
The Head of FP&A will lead the modernisation of Ocean Infinity's financial planning and analysis function - introducing new tools, models, and processes that change how the business understands its performance. This includes redesigning the budgeting and forecasting framework, building a five-year financial model, improving project-level P&Ls, and embedding automation and data-driven decision-making throughout the organisation.
This role is central to shaping a finance team that goes beyond reporting results to interpreting them — providing clarity, foresight, and challenge to the Executive and Operations teams.
What you will do:
Strategy, Planning & Forecasting
* Lead the end-to-end budgeting and forecasting process, ensuring transparency and discipline.
* Design and implement a robust five-year financial model to support long-term planning and investment.
* Embed driver-based forecasting and scenario modelling.
* Deliver clear, timely insights linking financial outcomes to operational performance.
Project & Operational Performance
* Redefine how project P&Ls are analysed, standardising margin tracking and integrating financial and operational data.
* Work closely with business leaders to identify trends, risks, and opportunities across the portfolio.
* Develop tools and dashboards to track project profitability and operating costs in real time.
Automation, Systems & Data
* Implement automation, analytics, and modern FP&A systems to streamline reporting and improve decision speed.
* Collaborate with Finance Systems and IT to ensure full integration with NetSuite and reporting platforms.
* Uphold data integrity and consistency, maintaining one version of the truth across the business.
Leadership & Team Development
* Build and lead a high-performing FP&A team known for accuracy, clarity, and insight.
* Set clear performance standards and promote strong business partnering with operations.
* Develop capability in analytics, financial modelling, and storytelling.
Business Partnering & Influence
* Deliver insightful monthly reviews and board materials with clear, actionable commentary.
* Provide constructive challenge and guidance to senior and operational leaders.
* Communicate complex analysis in a straightforward, persuasive way that informs key decisions.
Who you are:
* Experienced FP&A leader within complex, multi-entity, project-based organisations (marine, engineering, tech, or industrial sectors an advantage).
* ACA/ACCA (or equivalent) qualified, with 5–10+ years in finance or FP&A.
* Strong understanding of US GAAP/IFRS, consolidations, intercompany accounting, and transfer pricing.
* Deep knowledge of project accounting, utilisation, and margin analysis; confident challenging assumptions.
* Passionate about modernising FP&A through driver-based budgets, rolling forecasts, and automation.
* Advanced Excel modeller; experienced with planning and BI tools (e.g. Anaplan, Adaptive, Power BI, Tableau) integrated with ERP systems such as NetSuite.
* A commercial communicator who turns data into clear, decision-ready insight.
* Methodical and detail-driven, maintaining accuracy and a single version of the truth.
* Comfortable operating across international environments and adapting to change.
* Curious, proactive, and motivated to build a finance function that drives performance, not just reporting.
