Reporting directly to the Finance Director, you'll be a key member of the Finance Leadership Team, leading the financial planning and business partnering functions. You'll manage a team of three and work closely with senior stakeholders to provide financial insight, support strategic decision-making and help shape the organisation's long-term financial direction.

The FP&A Manager role will involve:

• Overseeing management reporting, financial modelling and financial performance analysis.
• Providing financial insight, challenge and recommendations to senior stakeholders to support key business decisions.

• Presenting financial analysis and recommendations to senior leadership teams and governance committees.
• Identifying opportunities to improve financial performance, efficiency and the quality of financial information across the organisation.

• You'll have a strong track record of leading and developing finance teams, improving financial processes and influencing senior stakeholders. Strong analytical skills are essential, alongside experience of financial modelling, forecasting and presenting complex financial information in a clear, commercially focused way.
• You'll also be comfortable challenging assumptions, providing strategic financial advice and working with stakeholders across different areas of the organisation to support effective decision-making.

Working arrangements

This is a full-time position working 36 hours per week, with core office hours of 9am–5pm. As a key member of the Finance Leadership Team, you'll typically be expected to spend three days per week onsite to support stakeholder engagement and institutional decision-making.

What's on offer?

• 30 days' annual leave, plus bank holidays.
• Discretionary Christmas closure.
• Competitive pension scheme.
• Employee Assistance Programme.
