About the Role
This is a hands-on senior FP&A manager role where your day-to-day will revolve around numbers, models, and process improvement—not just PowerPoint slides. You’ll own the reporting packs, make sense of the data, and turn numbers into insights, commentary, and advice that leaders can actually use. Business partnering is part of the job, but it’s not the headline act (around 20%). You’ll be building and improving reporting packs, digging into data, and making sure systems and processes actually work.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Own financial reporting: monthly management reports, forecasts, variance analysis, and dashboards.
- Build and refine financial models to support decision-making and scenario planning.
- Drive process improvements in reporting, forecasting, and consolidation—simplify, automate, and fix what doesn’t work.
- Work with large datasets, clean them, structure them, and pull insights that actually make sense.
- Push Excel to its limits: advanced formulas, pivots, macros, and modeling—you need to know your way around more than just VLOOKUPs.
- Get under the hood of systems (ERP, BI tools, planning platforms) and make them work harder for finance.
- Partner with business stakeholders when needed (around 20% of your time), providing insights that are backed by solid numbers.
Requirements
What You Bring
- At least 12 years of experience - Strong FP&A experience: forecasting, budgeting, reporting, and variance analysis.
- Proven track record of building and improving financial models.
- Advanced Excel skills — no hiding behind “intermediate.”
- System savvy — you’ve worked with ERPs, planning tools, and BI platforms and know how to make them talk to each other.
- A process mindset: you spot inefficiencies, you fix them, you document them.
- Comfortable with data: pulling it, structuring it, and turning it into usable information.
- The ability to interpret numbers into a story: you don’t just present tables, you explain what’s driving the trends, what the risks are, and what to do next.
- Clear communication skills: you can explain variance, trends, and risks without jargon, but with authority.
Why This Role
If you enjoy being deep in the numbers, fixing broken processes, and making reporting actually useful, this is the role. You won’t be bogged down in endless stakeholder management, but you will be the go-to person when people want the numbers to make sense.
