FP&A Director (OPEX) – Global Private Markets Firm – c£140k + bonus (c40%)
Autumnal Partners are working with one of the world's leading private markets investors to find a Director to lead operating expense planning, forecasting and reporting across the firm's Group Finance function.
Our client manages a global business spanning multiple strategies and geographies, with a non-staff cost base in excess of €170m per year. Following the launch of a new cost owner forecasting tool, the firm is now looking for an experienced FP&A leader to take the platform from implementation into steady-state, while continuing to raise the standard of insight delivered to senior stakeholders.
This is a high-profile role sitting at the centre of the firm's finance function, with direct ownership of the Opex forecast and budget, and responsibility for a multi-disciplinary, internationally based team.
