Group Head of Financial Planning & Analysis About the Company
Our client is an investment management conglomerate backed by a SWF, with diversified portfolio. They are hiring a senior finance leader to create their Group FP&A and performance capability from scratch - a rare chance to shape how a major investment platform plans, measures and makes decisions.
Key Responsibilities- Own group-wide budgeting, multi-year planning and rolling forecasts across a broad mix of businesses and asset classes
- Put a single performance framework in place - KPIs, measures and reporting - that ties results back to strategy and makes accountability visible
- Bring group and entity-level performance into one consolidated view, aligning planning standards across portfolio finance teams
- Act as a genuine sounding board to the Group CFO, CEO and wider leadership, offering an independent view and pushing back where it counts
- Produce both the numbers and the narrative behind executive and Board reporting, making complex detail land clearly
- Model the scenarios and returns behind capital deployment, portfolio decisions and major investment cases
- Design how FP&A will run day to day - processes, governance, systems and team - and build it out from the ground up
- 18+ years in finance, with meaningful leadership time in FP&A, strategic finance, planning or performance management at group or holding-company level
- Background in a sovereign fund, holding group, infrastructure platform, pension fund or large asset manager - somewhere with real portfolio complexity
- Comfortable working across several businesses, entities, geographies or asset classes at once
- Has built or rebuilt a planning function before, rather than stepping into one that already worked
- Strong modelling, forecasting and scenario work, paired with a commercial view on where capital should go
- Credible in front of CEOs, CFOs and Boards - able to explain the story behind the numbers and challenge senior people without leaning on title
- A finance or accounting qualification, or relevant postgraduate degree, is welcome - though track record and executive credibility carry more weight
