The Opportunity 

Bring analytical rigor to the decisions that support our clients’ growth. This is a strategy-facing FP&A role for a finance professional who wants to move beyond routine reporting and into acquisitions, investment analysis, and the complex modelling that helps guide where and how we grow.

• Team leadership – lead, coach, and develop the FP&A team, building a high-performance group and strengthening the analytical capability of the function.
• Decision support – act as a trusted business partner across the organization, delivering the insight and recommendations that inform capital allocation and financial priorities.
• Project leadership – provide impactful leadership for new projects which include AI and Finance transformation
