The thinking has to be original. This is a role with genuine scope. The person who gets it will define what good looks like.

What You Will Do

What We Are Looking For

7-10+ years of progressive FP&A experience, including meaningful time at Director level or equivalent Proven ownership of enterprise-wide planning in a complex, multi-segment organisation Demonstrable experience partnering with CFOs and executive teams on strategy and investment decisions Strong corporate financial modelling and consolidation capability Executive credibility and gravitas - comfortable constructively challenging at the most senior level A strategic thinker who connects financial outcomes to business decisions, not just numbers to a template Technology sector experience is a strong advantage

Above all, we want someone who brings independent judgment and genuine leadership. This role requires original thinking, not coordination.
