I'm hiring a Senior Data Analytics Manager for a large company, joining a high-profile Finance Operations leadership team responsible for driving automation, analytics, and AI-led transformation across the function.
This is a strategic leadership role overseeing both Data Analytics and Automation capability, with responsibility for modernising how Finance uses data, reporting, robotics, and emerging AI technologies.
The role
You'll lead two specialist functions:

This role combines:
- Data & Analytics leadership
- Automation strategy
- Stakeholder management
- AI & BI transformation
- Operational improvement
What you'll be doing
Leadership & Strategy
- Lead and develop the MI & Reporting Manager and RPA Product Owner.
- Act as the key link between Finance Operations, IT, and senior leadership.
- Drive a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.
- Challenge existing ways of working and identify opportunities for transformation.
