Finance Analyst in Peterborough

Location: Peterborough / Hybrid

Who are we?

We’re the @one Alliance – a ground-breaking collaboration between Anglian Water and seven industry-leading partners: Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska and SWECO. Together, we deliver over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme. As we begin Year 2 of AMP8, our most ambitious period yet, we’ll be delivering an even broader range of innovative and environmentally-driven infrastructure projects – from urban drainage to nature-based solutions like constructed wetlands.

Why join us?

As a Finance Analyst, you’ll be at the heart of financial planning and control, driving accurate overhead and cash forecasting while supporting strong financial governance across the business. Working closely with cost centre owners and wider teams, you’ll help create clear financial visibility, encourage collaboration, and support informed decision-making. This is an opportunity to make a real impact in a purpose-led organisation that values doing the right thing, working together, and continuously improving the way we deliver for customers, communities, and the environment.

What you’ll be doing:

In this role, you’ll take ownership of key financial planning and control activities across @one Alliance, with a strong focus on overhead governance and cash forecasting. You’ll work closely with Executive Leadership Team cost centre owners to provide robust financial insight, support effective decision-making, and ensure strong financial discipline across the alliance. Your responsibilities will include month-end overhead analysis, cost centre reviews, forecasting and budgeting cycles, and the preparation of accurate monthly cash forecast submissions, using data-driven insights to identify trends and opportunities. You’ll support financial assurance and reporting processes, helping to maintain accurate cost reporting and controls while driving greater understanding of financial performance and opportunities for cost base efficiencies. Building strong relationships with stakeholders across the alliance, you’ll communicate key financial information clearly and proactively, while also contributing to continuous improvement initiatives, including the development of more automated and efficient reporting solutions.

What you’ll bring:

We’re looking for someone with experience in business partnering, budgeting, and forecasting, who is confident working collaboratively with stakeholders across all levels of an organisation. You’ll be a proactive and flexible finance professional, able to manage competing priorities, work effectively under pressure, and meet strict deadlines while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail. Strong communication and influencing skills are essential, as you’ll be comfortable challenging and supporting operational management to drive informed financial decisions. You’ll also bring a collaborative mindset and a passion for teamwork, helping to build strong relationships across the alliance. A professional finance qualification such as CIMA, ACCA, or ACA (or progress towards one) would be desirable, and experience within the utilities sector would be an advantage.

Our vision and values:

The @One Alliance is more than just a delivery organisation—it’s a movement. We’re a collaborative team committed to driving change and delivering sustainable outcomes for our communities. Our vision is to help Anglian Water achieve Net Zero operational carbon by 2030, while creating climate-resilient assets that will benefit future generations. We live by our values: Build trust, Do the right thing, Always explore.
