Head of FP&A – Corporate Planning & Analysis

Responsibilities

• Own and manage the annual budgeting and multi-year planning cycle, coordinating inputs across all business units and central functions to produce a consolidated, Board-ready financial plan.
• Lead the monthly and quarterly forecast process, ensuring timely, accurate and insightful reforecasts that reflect the latest trading conditions and strategic priorities.
• Challenge and interrogate business unit submissions, bringing rigour and consistency to assumptions, phasing and presentation.
• Develop and maintain financial models that support scenario planning, sensitivity analysis and longer-range strategic modelling.
• Continuously improve planning processes, timelines and tools, with a focus on efficiency and accuracy, particularly driving forward the use of the new Oracle planning module to fully utilise its capabilities.
• Lead the production of key monthly Group information on performance with planning/reporting tools – ideally Oracle EPBCS but certainly a sector leading system (e.g. Anaplan, Cognos, SAP BPC, Power BI or similar).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience presenting to senior leadership.
• Ability to work at pace in a fast-changing environment, managing multiple priorities and deadlines without compromising quality.
