We're looking for a Finance Business Partner with the strategic mindset, commercial sharpness and business partnering strength to drive financial performance, enhance cost discipline and influence decision‑making across the organisation. This is a high‑impact role partnering with senior leaders and operational teams, where you'll turn complex financial data into clear, actionable insight that shapes both operational delivery and long-term strategy.
Business partnering sits at the heart of the role. You'll build trusted relationships across the organisation, challenge constructively and ensure financial thinking is embedded in key decisions. You'll be confident stepping into strategic conversations, asking the right questions and challenging the status quo to help the organisation make better, more informed choices.
Cost control will be a major focus. You'll lead the identification of cost‑saving opportunities, analyse cost trends, challenge assumptions and provide insightful commentary that drives accountability. You'll develop and maintain robust cost models, support scenario planning and help embed a culture of disciplined, value‑driven financial management.
You'll also take ownership of budgeting, forecasting and performance reporting, ensuring financial plans are accurate, aligned and delivered with clarity. You'll play a key role in month‑end, strengthen governance and controls, and contribute to wider transformation and improvement initiatives.
We're looking for a qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, CA, ACA) with strong experience in business partnering, cost management and financial analysis gained within a large or complex organisation. You'll bring a strategic mindset, the confidence to challenge constructively and the ability to simplify complexity for senior stakeholders. Strong modelling capability, commercial curiosity and the ability to build trusted relationships will set you apart.
