FP&A Manager
Location: London (Hybrid)
Build the forecasting function from the ground up.
We are supporting a rapidly growing AI infrastructure business as it builds one of Europe's most ambitious next-generation digital infrastructure platforms.
With major projects underway across the UK and Europe, the business is investing heavily in finance capability and is looking for its first dedicated FP&A Manager. This is a unique opportunity to design and own the forecasting and reporting function from day one, working directly with senior finance leadership in a high-growth, capital-intensive environment.
This is a hands-on role where you'll create the forecasting framework, reporting cadence and financial models that will support significant infrastructure investment and future growth.
The Role
Reporting to the VP of Accounting, you will take ownership of short-range forecasting, variance analysis and accounting-led financial modelling across a multi-entity, multi-currency business. Rather than focusing on long-range planning, this role is centred on delivering accurate near-term forecasting, cash management and board-quality reporting that aligns directly with accounting and operational performance.
Key Responsibilities
Forecasting & Cash Management
- Own the rolling 13-week cash flow forecast across multiple entities and currencies.
- Lead monthly and quarterly reforecast cycles covering operating expenditure, capital expenditure, headcount and cash runway.
- Produce consolidated cash reporting and runway analysis for executive leadership.
- Develop forecasting processes and support their migration into a new ERP platform.
