Lineage is the world’s largest and most innovative provider of temperature-controlled logistics solutions – this means we help move food from farms to the dinner table, with more than 22,000 employees across over 450 locations and spanning 20 countries across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America.
As an FP&A Analyst within Lineage’s Global Integrated Solutions (GIS) business, you will play a key role in supporting the financial performance of our UK Road Transportation operations while contributing to FP&A activities across Europe, covering both Road Transportation and Freight Forwarding.
Working in a matrix structure, you will combine hands-on financial analysis with broader regional responsibilities. You will work closely with operational, commercial, and finance teams to understand business performance, identify risks and opportunities, and turn financial and operational data into clear, actionable insights.
This is more than a reporting role. You will have the opportunity to challenge existing ways of working, improve processes, and help move FP&A towards more automated, scalable, and data-driven solutions. The role also offers a clear development path towards a Senior Financial Analyst position, with increasing ownership and business partnering responsibilities.
Responsibilities
- Support monthly close, reporting, and financial performance analysis for UK Road Transportation.
- Analyse revenue, margins, operating costs, headcount, fleet expenses, and productivity.
- Prepare management reports, dashboards, and performance reviews.
- Investigate financial and operational variances and provide recommendations.
- Support budgets, forecasts, and long-range planning.
- Monitor key operational and financial KPIs and identify trends, risks, and opportunities.
- Partner with operational and commercial teams to understand business drivers and translate them into financial insights.
- Support business cases, investment reviews, and capital expenditure analysis.
- Contribute to European reporting and FP&A activities across Road Transportation and Freight Forwarding.
- Consolidate and analyse country results and support regional forecasting.
- Develop profitability and performance analysis by customer, country, business line, and service.
- Identify opportunities to simplify, standardise, and automate reporting and planning processes.
- Build and enhance Power BI dashboards, financial models, and self-service reporting solutions.
- Drive continuous improvement in data quality, forecast accuracy, and reporting efficiency.
- Collaborate with finance teams across Europe and contribute to regional strategic planning initiatives.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
