Finance Business Partner
We are working with a well-established business to appoint an experienced Finance Business Partner into a newly created role. This is an opportunity for a commercially minded finance professional to step into a high-visibility position, working closely with senior leadership and operational teams to shape financial performance and support strategic growth.
The Role
You will act as the primary finance partner to key business functions, providing insightful analysis, challenge, and support to help drive commercial outcomes. You will be comfortable working in project-led or contract-driven environments where financial complexity is the norm rather than the exception.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Partnering with operational and commercial teams to provide financial insight and support delivery of business objectives
- Leading budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning cycles
- Providing project and contract cost reporting, variance analysis, and performance commentary
- Supporting commercial decision-making including bids, pricing, and investment appraisals
- Ensuring robust financial controls and governance across your area of responsibility
- Presenting financial performance to senior stakeholders in a clear and accessible way
- Driving continuous improvement in financial processes and reporting
