Full-time, permanent

About the role:

As our FP&A Analyst, you'll play a key role in helping our Product Certification division with our Regulatory Services business understand its financial performance and make informed commercial decisions. Working closely with the Senior Finance Business Partner and operational leaders, you'll analyse financial and operational data, identify trends, explain variances and deliver meaningful insights that support budgeting, forecasting and business performance.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a couple of years' experience in finance or commercial analysis who enjoys working with data and partnering with stakeholders. Whether you're qualified by experience or studying towards a professional qualification, you'll gain exposure to senior leaders, influence decision-making through insightful analysis rather than routine accounting, and continue developing your commercial finance career within a growing global business.

We're looking for someone who is naturally curious, eager to learn and confident communicating financial information to non-finance colleagues.

Key Responsibilities:

Partner with Finance Business Partners and operational managers to provide financial analysis, reporting, and commercial insights that support business decisions.

Analyse monthly performance, investigate variances, and produce clear commentary that explains the story behind the numbers.

Support budgeting, forecasting, and long-term planning activities through robust financial modelling and analysis.

Interrogate large datasets to identify trends, risks and opportunities, turning complex information into meaningful recommendations.

Develop and improve recurring reports, helping to automate and standardise financial reporting where possible.

Support commercial activities including pricing analysis, business cases and financial evaluations for new products and initiatives.

Build strong relationships with stakeholders across the business, providing financial guidance in a clear and accessible way.

To be successful in the role, you will have:

Experience in a FP&A, commercial finance, or financial analysis role, with a solid understanding of budgeting, forecasting and management reporting.

Strong analytical skills with the ability to interrogate data, identify trends and explain the reasons behind financial performance.

Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with large datasets and finance systems.

Excellent communication skills and the ability to present financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders.

A proactive, curious approach with a willingness to challenge assumptions and continuously improve reporting and processes.

The ability to manage your own workload, prioritise effectively, and work collaboratively across multiple teams.
