FP&A Lead | 6-month contract | £80k to £85k | September start
We are partnering with a consumer goods business to recruit an Interim FP&A Lead for an initial six-month contract. This is a high-impact role for an experienced FP&A professional who is comfortable operating in a fast-paced start-up environment. The successful candidate will take ownership of the company-wide annual budgeting process and provide the financial insight required to support growth and improve performance. Experience working within an inventory-led business is essential. This could include retail, consumer goods, e-commerce, manufacturing, wholesale or distribution.
Key Responsibilities
- Financial planning and budgeting - Own the annual budgeting process and quarterly re-forecasting cycle end-to-end: coordinating inputs from across the business and producing consolidated plans that are grounded in commercial reality.
- Management reporting - Work closely with the Financial Controller to understand actual performance and build a feedback loop that helps to improve our forecasts.
- Commercial analysis - Be the go-to person for deep-dive commercial analysis: from channel profitability and customer economics to new market or product launch modelling.
- KPI framework - Own and develop our KPI framework, working cross-functionally to ensure financial and operational metrics are well-defined, consistently reported and genuinely used. You'll champion the single source of truth.
- Long-range planning - Maintain the long-range financial model, supporting fundraising processes, strategic planning and scenario analysis as the business evolves.
- Business partnering - Be embedded with the growth and retail teams, helping them understand the financial impact of their decisions, manage their budgets and identify opportunities to drive growth and efficiency.
- Finance transformation - Work closely with the Financial Controller and the Data Lead to connect FP&A to the core financial data, improving the speed, accuracy and automation of our planning and reporting processes.
