Anderson Knight are delighted to be supporting an outstanding opportunity to join a major organisation at a pivotal stage of investment, transformation and sustainable growth, where finance plays a central role in shaping business strategy and delivering long-term commercial success.
As a Finance Business Partner, you will operate as a trusted strategic adviser to senior executives and business leaders, providing commercial insight that drives performance, supports complex investment decisions and ensures capital is deployed effectively. Working across high-profile projects, transformation programmes and strategic initiatives, you will challenge thinking, influence direction and help maximise organisational value.
This is far more than a traditional finance role. You'll combine strategic financial leadership with commercial acumen, partnering with stakeholders to evaluate opportunities, optimise performance and deliver projects that support long-term business objectives.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with Executive and Senior Leadership teams to influence strategic planning, commercial decision-making and business performance.
- Lead the financial planning cycle, including budgeting, forecasting, scenario modelling and long-range financial planning.
- Provide robust commercial and financial analysis to support major investment decisions, business transformation programmes and strategic projects.
- Evaluate and challenge business cases across capital investment, technology, infrastructure, operational improvement and growth initiatives, ensuring financial viability and strategic alignment.
- Deliver insightful performance reporting, identifying key commercial drivers, emerging risks and opportunities to improve profitability, efficiency and return on investment.
- Develop sophisticated financial models and scenario analysis to support investment appraisals and strategic planning.
- Influence senior stakeholders through clear, data-driven recommendations that enable informed decision-making.
- Drive continuous improvement across financial processes, governance and performance management, supporting a culture of commercial excellence.
- Collaborate across finance and operational teams to ensure strategic objectives translate into measurable financial and operational outcomes.
