  • Act as a trusted business partner, supporting cross-functional teams with financial expertise
  • Operate with agility, providing calm, structured guidance in a dynamic environment

Who We’re Looking For

  • Advanced Excel skills (essential); experience with Power BI, Cognos, or SQL is a strong advantage
  • Solid grounding in FP&A fundamentals: forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, and root cause analysis
  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to connect financials to business outcomes
  • A proactive, analytical thinker who enjoys solving complex problems
  • Proven ability to influence stakeholders and communicate effectively across all levels
  • Highly organized, able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

  • Strong career development and progression opportunities within a global organization
  • Competitive salary, annual bonus, and comprehensive benefits package
  • Inclusive, collaborative, and mission-driven culture
  • Access to wellbeing initiatives, including onsite gym facilities
  • Active employee networks, community groups, and regular onsite events
