  • Support budgeting, forecasting and wider FP&A activity.
  • Investigate variances and understand the key drivers behind financial and operational performance.
  • Present findings and insights to finance and non-finance stakeholders in a clear and commercially focused way.
  • Work with stakeholders to understand business challenges and use data to help identify solutions.
  • Support the FP&A Manager with ad-hoc analysis and wider commercial projects.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, reporting and the use of data across the business.
