- Developing financial models and analysis to support business cases, funding decisions and strategic planning.
- Supporting improvements to financial reporting, processes and controls.
- Working collaboratively with the wider finance team to ensure the accuracy and integrity of financial information.
The successful candidate will have:

- Strong experience in both management accounting and finance business partnering, ideally within a large or complex organisation.
- Excellent budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis skills.
- The ability to communicate complex financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
- Strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial systems and large datasets.
- A proactive, organised approach with the ability to manage competing deadlines.
