This is a commercially focused role offering the opportunity to partner with a range of central functions, providing financial insight and challenge across operating expenditure, capital investment, headcount planning and business performance.
Working closely with senior stakeholders across Property, HR, Learning & Development and operational support teams, you will play a key role in budgeting, forecasting and financial planning, helping to drive informed decision-making and improve financial performance across the business.
Key Responsibilities

- Monitor headcount movements against budget, identifying variances, unplanned hires and associated cost impacts.
- Produce accurate headcount reporting to support forecasting, budgeting and business planning.
- Track, analyse and challenge central operating expenditure, providing clear insight into financial performance and key variance drivers.
- Partner with budget holders to review spend, challenge costs where appropriate and identify opportunities for efficiencies.
- Support the budgeting and forecasting process with robust assumptions and financial analysis.
- Manage financial tracking of the capital expenditure programme, monitoring projects from approval through to completion.
- Produce business cases and financial evaluations to support investment decisions across property, equipment and technology projects.
- Partner with Property and Facilities teams to analyse estate costs, maintenance spend, utilities and lease-related expenditure.
- Provide financial reporting and analysis for internal operational services, monitoring revenue, costs and profitability while identifying opportunities to improve performance.
- Support the financial evaluation of strategic investment initiatives and monitor post-investment performance.
- Provide finance support to HR and Learning & Development, tracking training expenditure and modelling the financial impact of people-related initiatives.
- Deliver return on investment analysis for significant training and development programmes where appropriate.
