Role Overview

We are seeking a senior, highly analytical and commercially minded FP&A Manager to lead the development and ongoing ownership of Axis CLC’s value-creation reporting framework and data cube. This is a high-impact, autonomous role at the centre of our strategic finance agenda, suited to an individual who can operate with minimal hand-holding and bring established best practice from a transaction, due diligence or strategic finance environment. Reporting into the Head of FP&A, you will shape how we measure performance, track value creation, prepare investor‑grade materials and support strategic optionality. The role combines deep analytical ownership with regular exposure to the CFO, CCO and senior leadership, operating to investor‑level standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Value Creation Reporting & Data Cube Ownership: Design, build and independently own a first‑generation value‑creation reporting data cube aligned to CFO and CCO priorities. Establish robust KPI definitions, reconciliations and audit trails back to core financial systems, with minimal supervision. Implement a scalable monthly and quarterly reporting cycle that clearly evidences performance drivers and value‑creation progress.
• Strategic & M&A Readiness: Develop and maintain a due‑diligence‑ready data environment, ensuring the business is prepared for strategic reviews and potential M&A activity. Produce investor‑quality data books, analyses and schedules, anticipating the expectations of financial and commercial diligence providers. Support senior finance leadership with high‑quality strategic modelling, scenario analysis and decision‑grade insight.
• Performance Storytelling & Senior Stakeholder Communication: Translate complex financial and operational data into clear, credible insights for senior leadership. Contribute directly to Board‑level materials, leadership packs and investor‑style performance communication. Partner with the CFO, CCO and Interim Head of FP&A to strengthen Axis CLC’s value‑creation narrative and equity story.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Operate as a senior analytical partner to commercial, operational and finance leaders, challenging assumptions and driving alignment. Act as a trusted, independent authority on performance data and value creation metrics. Drive improvements in data governance, standardisation and reporting discipline across the business.

Required Skills & Experience

• Experience within FP&A, corporate development, transaction services, strategy or a similarly rigorous analytical finance role.
• Manager‑level experience within Big 4 or mid‑tier Transaction Services, Due Diligence, Valuations or Financial Modelling teams is strongly preferred.
• Proven experience producing due‑diligence‑grade data books, performance packs or structured reporting frameworks.
• Strong understanding of what financial and commercial diligence providers expect from management information.
• Advanced Excel capability and comfort working with large, complex datasets.
• Confident communicator, able to engage credibly with senior leaders without reliance on close supervision.
• A self‑directed, delivery‑focused mindset, comfortable building and owning core reporting infrastructure end‑to‑end.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary circa £100,000 per annum, dependent on experience, plus performance‑related bonus.
• Pension, medical scheme options and life assurance.
• 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays.
