Build. Influence. Transform. 
 
This is not a BAU FP&A position. 
 
u&u are delighted to be exclusively partnering with this organisation to assist through a period of significant transformation in its finance function and has created a new Group FP&A Manager role to establish and lead an enterprise-wide financial planning and analysis capability. 
 
Reporting directly to the ELT; you'll own the planning, forecasting and management reporting agenda across a complex, multi-entity organisation while partnering closely with Executive Leadership to influence strategic decision-making. 
 
If you're motivated by building something rather than inheriting it, this is a rare opportunity to shape the future of an organisation's finance capability. 
 
As the senior FP&A leader, you'll drive financial planning excellence across the business by:

• Leading the annual budgeting process across multiple business units;

• Owning quarterly forecasting and delivering insightful analysis to Executive Leadership;

• Producing Board-quality management reporting and commercial insights;

• Developing sophisticated financial models and scenario analysis to support strategic decisions;

• Driving reporting automation and Power BI capability;

• Improving FP&A processes, governance and reporting frameworks;

• Partnering with senior operational stakeholders to influence business performance; and

• Leading and developing a geographically dispersed finance team.

This role sits at the intersection of finance, strategy and transformation, offering significant visibility across the organisation. 
 
We're looking for an experienced FP&A leader who has operated in complex, multi-entity environments.

You'll bring:

• CA or CPA qualification;

• 10+ years' finance experience with at least five years in senior FP&A, commercial finance or management reporting;

• Demonstrated ownership of end-to-end budgeting and forecasting processes;

• Experience preparing and presenting reporting to Executive and Board-level stakeholders;

• Exceptional financial modelling, analytical and commercial capability;

• Advanced Excel and Power BI skills;

• A continuous improvement mindset with a passion for modernising finance functions;

• Strong leadership experience, including developing high-performing finance teams; and

• The ability to simplify complex financial information into clear commercial recommendations.

This opportunity offers far more than a traditional FP&A position.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Build and shape a newly created leadership function;

• Partner directly with Executive Leadership;

• Influence strategic direction across a national organisation;

• Lead meaningful transformation initiatives;

• Drive reporting automation and finance capability uplift; and

• Join an organisation with a strong values-based culture and long-term growth agenda.
