This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially focused finance professional to join a fast-paced and evolving organisation, playing a key role in supporting strategic decision-making and driving business performance.

Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business, you will provide meaningful financial insight through reporting, forecasting, and analysis, while helping to improve processes and enhance the quality of management information.

• Produce and maintain sales performance reporting and forecasting models to improve commercial visibility
• Partner with operational leaders to support budgeting and forecasting cycles, ensuring plans align with strategic objectives
• Deliver meaningful variance analysis, identifying key drivers impacting revenue, profitability, and cash flow
• Build strong relationships across Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Operational teams, providing financial challenge and support where required
• Own and develop KPI reporting, delivering insights around customer retention, profitability, and business performance metrics

• A proactive, curious, and solutions-focused approach

This role would suit someone looking to move into a broader commercial finance position where they can develop their business partnering skills and gain greater exposure to operational and strategic decision-making.
