The Opportunity

A rapidly growing, private equity-backed technology business is looking to appoint a senior VP, FP&A to play a key role in supporting the next stage of the Group's growth.

Reporting directly to the CFO and working closely with the PE Investors and senior leadership team, this is a high-profile, highly commercial role sitting at the centre of the Group's planning, performance management, reporting and financial decision-making agenda.

You'll be responsible for ensuring investors and senior stakeholders have a clear understanding of performance, whilst providing the analysis and insight needed to support strategic decision-making.

The business operates in a fast-paced, high-growth and acquisitive environment, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with senior stakeholders, influencing decisions and building a best-in-class FP&A function through a period of significant change.
