Senior Finance Business Partner in Leeds

Location: Thorpe Park, Leeds, Hybrid working.

Join us as a Senior Finance Business Partner! You will play a key role in shaping insight and driving meaningful commercial challenge across the business. Using reporting from our Finance Business Services Unit (BSU), you will turn data into value-adding analysis that supports confident decision-making at both Regional Executive and Group Exco levels. You will contribute to the annual budgeting cycle and ongoing forecasting, while taking the lead across Collections, Income and Client Development. Acting as an ambassador for new finance tools, you will spot opportunities for fresh analysis, develop proactive thought pieces, and build robust business cases that push continuous improvement.

Working closely with the BSU and wider specialist teams, you will ensure statutory and regulatory requirements are met, all while helping the business balance long-term strategic transformation with day-to-day delivery. Collaboration, credibility and clear communication are at the heart of this role - you will work hand-in-hand with senior stakeholders, confidently influencing, challenging and supporting them to deliver our ambitions.

What we are looking for:

• Proven senior-level commercial finance experience, including working directly with board and Exco stakeholders.
• Background in fast-paced, high-growth environments, ideally with exposure to digital or consumer sectors and international/European markets.
• Professional accounting qualification (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) with strong analytical capability, advanced Excel/PowerPoint skills and exceptional attention to detail balanced with strategic thinking.
• Experience in financial analytics, forecasting and performance insight, with the ability to translate detailed financial inputs into meaningful recommendations.
• Highly effective communicator and collaborator, able to build strong relationships, work under pressure, navigate ambiguity and influence at all levels.
• Strong organisational skills and professional integrity, demonstrating sound judgement, discretion, adaptability and a proactive, solutions-focused approach.

If you are excited about this role but do not meet every requirement - do not worry, still apply. Your unique perspective could be just what we are looking for.

What you will get:

• A discretionary annual bonus to reward your impact.
• 3% flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your lifestyle, whether that is extra cash, more holiday, or added health cover.
• Hybrid working for the best of both worlds - collaboration and focus.
• Free onsite parking, saving you time and money.
• Recharge and refresh opportunities with 28 days of holiday plus public holidays, and the option to buy up to five more - giving you more time for what matters most.
• Peace of mind with life assurance that supports your loved ones, no matter what.
• A culture that celebrates you and supports your wellbeing - with recognition awards, access to on-site gym facilities, and a variety of wellbeing initiatives offered throughout the year to help you stay balanced, resilient and feeling your best.
• Encouragement to be your authentic self at work by joining one of our vibrant employee networks - like Rise (Gender), Proud (LGBTQIA+), Culture, or Spark (Neurodiversity & Disability) - and connect with a community that celebrates and supports you.
