Finance & Strategy Analyst
Glasgow City Centre (hybrid)
c£65,000 + package
I am delighted to be working on this opportunity….here’s why;
- Terrific, highly accomplished CFO, with outstanding track record.
- Well established, Private Equity backed business with a global footprint.
- Defined growth strategy culminating in an exit event in 3-4 years.
- Long-term environmental sustainability at the very heart of the company’s ethos.
This newly created requirement, reporting directly to the CFO, is a wide-ranging role, which will influence the direction of the company. The Finance and Strategy Analyst will be responsible for driving understanding, decision-making, and analysis across all areas of the business and operations. A high impact role during a period of rapid growth and expansion, you will be responsible for ad hoc analysis, alongside owning ongoing processes. You will have a heavy involvement in M&A and exposure to the private equity investors as well as significant exposure to and influence with the wider senior management team. This is a proposition for an individual with high-ambition and low ego, with a desire to have a tangible impact on a fast-growing business, that is also having a positive impact on the environment.
Experience, knowledge & skills:
- Highly numerate, naturally inquisitive and deeply analytical - a master of Excel
- Degree from a top tier university, preferably in a numerate discipline
- 1+ year of professional work experience, likely in a professional services firm (e.g. management consulting, investment banking, corporate finance, accounting firm)
- Familiarity with PowerBI or similar is a significant plus
- Motivated by learning and understanding new things, with an ambition and passion for knowing “how things work” or “why things happen”
- Excellent analytical, communication and presentation skills, both written and oral
- Ability to grasp the bigger picture and develop higher-level strategic insights from detailed numerical analysis
- Self-driven, with the ability to work in somewhat ambiguous and unstructured environments, with multiple competing priorities
MOST importantly, the right person:
Comfortable with ambiguity. Enjoys digging into a messy business problem as much as building a clean model. Not just a number cruncher - a business thinker who happens to love numbers. Someone who simplifies rather than complicates, and who sees technology as an opportunity, not a threat.
