Financial Planning and Analysis Manager

FP&A Manager | £75,000 – £85,000 + Equity | London (Hybrid)

Baker Charles is partnering with a fast-growing, international VC-backed biotech business to recruit an FP&A Manager.

This is a broad, high-impact role reporting to the Finance Director, with regular exposure to the CFO and senior leadership team. It would suit someone who enjoys getting into the detail of the numbers but, crucially, can step back and understand what they mean for the business.

You will take ownership of budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling across a multi-entity, multi-product organisation, while acting as a commercial finance partner to teams across the business.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Owning and developing the group’s forecasting, budgeting and scenario-planning models
• Running the end-to-end budgeting and forecasting cycle across the business
• Providing analysis and insight across P&L, cash, margins and key business drivers
• Building scenario models and investment cases to support strategic decisions
• Partnering with Commercial and Sales teams, including modelling the economics of new customer deals
• Producing financial and KPI reporting for senior leadership and Board meetings
• Challenging assumptions and helping stakeholders understand the financial implications of their decisions
• Supporting the continued development of FP&A systems, processes and ways of working

We are looking for someone with strong FP&A and/or commercial finance experience who has excellent financial modelling skills and can demonstrate real ownership of budgeting and forecasting.

You are likely to be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, although equivalent relevant experience will also be considered. Experience with in technology, biotech, SaaS, engineering or another high-growth environment would be particularly useful, as would exposure to FP&A systems.

The successful candidate will be commercially curious, comfortable working with ambiguity and capable of operating in a fast-moving environment. You will need to care about the detail while being able to join the dots and communicate the bigger picture clearly to senior stakeholders.

This is an excellent opportunity to take genuine ownership of FP&A within an ambitious, growing business and work closely with an experienced Finance Director and CFO.
