We are seeking a highly skilled Senior FP&A Modelling Manager to lead the development, enhancement and governance of critical financial models, reporting frameworks and strategic analysis across a fast-moving, complex organisation. This role sits at the heart of business planning and commercial decision-making, partnering senior finance leaders and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver insight that shapes long-range strategy, scenario planning and executive-level engagement.
You will own and evolve core financial models, drive best-practice modelling standards, and ensure reporting is robust, efficient and decision-useful. This is a high-impact position suited to someone who thrives in dynamic environments, brings strong technical capability, and can influence senior stakeholders through clarity, insight and analytical excellence.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the strategic development of core Excel-based financial models using best-practice techniques, including sales forecasting models and integrated three-statement long-range planning models.
- Own and maintain the long-range plan model, ensuring timely updates for actuals and forecasts, and supporting future integration with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) or other planning systems.
- Partner with finance and commercial teams to ensure inputs are accurate and consistent, designing templates and outputs that clearly communicate trends, insights and performance drivers.
- Produce high-quality Excel-based reporting, embedding accuracy checks and efficient production processes.
- Deliver ad-hoc financial analysis and insight to support strategic decision-making across senior leadership.
- Build and adapt financial models for evolving business needs, including business case appraisal, scenario planning, stress testing and resilience analysis.
- Ensure modelling and reporting align with business planning methodologies and regulatory requirements, identifying gaps and developing pragmatic solutions.
- Work closely with senior leaders and non-finance stakeholders to deliver high-quality outputs in environments where priorities may shift or requirements may be ambiguous.
- Support senior finance leadership with executive-level reporting packs, analysis and messaging.
Key Measures of Success:
- Financial models and reporting that are robust, insight-led and trusted by senior stakeholders.
- High-quality outputs delivered to deadline, supporting confident decision-making and strategic priorities.
- Clear ownership, sustainability and continuous improvement embedded within the wider finance team.
Skills & Experience Required:
- Strong experience building and maintaining integrated financial models in Excel and PowerPoint, covering P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, KPIs, actuals vs budget and trend analysis.
- Proven experience supporting business planning cycles and producing reporting packs that influence senior stakeholders.
- Experience with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) desirable, including system mapping and configuration.
- Deep understanding of the inter-relationships between the three financial statements and how business performance drives financial outcomes.
- Demonstrated capability in agile scenario planning, with the ability to respond quickly to changing assumptions and provide clear decision support.
- Collaborative approach with strong problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to distil complexity and present clear recommendations.
