Joining a high-growth Fin Tech like this offers the rare opportunity to shape the finance function while the business is still scaling. You’re not stepping into a static structure — you’re building it. That means real ownership, high visibility with senior leadership, and the ability to influence strategic decisions that directly impact growth, profitability, and long-term value creation. For ambitious finance professionals, it’s a chance to combine commercial impact with modern, data‑driven tools like Power BI and SQL, accelerate your progression, and play a meaningful role in shaping the future direction of an evolving, forward‑thinking business.

• Lead budgeting, rolling forecasts and variance analysis
• Deliver weekly and monthly performance insights

• Build business cases and scenario models
• Support pricing, margin, cost and growth decisions
• Analyse product economics and customer profitability

A core part of this role is strengthening finance’s data capability.

You will:

• Develop KPI frameworks and Power BI dashboards
• Improve data models and reporting structures
• Drive automation using Excel, Power Query and SQL
• Partner with Data/Tech teams to improve reporting integrity

Strong awareness of Power BI is essential. SQL capability is highly desirable. The business needs finance to scale through better data, not more manual reporting.

• Coach junior analysts
• Act as deputy to the Head of Commercial Finance
• Demonstrate readiness to step into a broader leadership role

• 4–6+ years in FP&A or Commercial Finance
• Ownership of budgeting and forecasting cycles
• Strong Power BI capability
• Power Query and SQL highly desirable
• Commercial mindset and confident stakeholder engagement

• Clear succession pathway to Head of Commercial Finance
• High visibility and influence
• Opportunity to build scalable, data‑driven FP&A capability in a growing business

If you’re commercially sharp, analytically strong, and excited by building data‑led finance in a scaling environment, this is a standout opportunity.
