About the Company
Our client is a highly successful, well-established, global software company which is recognised as a market leader.
About the Role
As part of the growth plans for an exciting part of the business, we are looking for an FP&A Analyst to join a small close-knit global FP&A team. You will be the FP&A contact for stakeholders across the UK and Europe.
As one of the senior members of the team, you will be someone the team can look to when the Head of FP&A is not available. It requires real commercial awareness and someone who can see the bigger picture, get to the insight and put clear recommendations in front of decision-makers. You will be a trusted finance business partner, working cross-functionally with leaders in the business, and will mentor and develop junior members of the FP&A team.
You will need to be fluent with data - comfortable querying source systems directly, building production reporting in the Power Platform, and using AI and agentic workflows to shorten the distance between question and answer.
Candidates will need 4-6 years of progressive FP&A experience in SaaS/Software.
Responsibilities
- Act as a trusted finance business partner to leaders across the business.
- Explain performance rather than just report it: connect movements in revenue, cost, headcount and KPIs to what is actually happening commercially.
- Provide the analysis behind investment cases, pricing decisions and strategic initiatives.
- Be a senior voice in the team, represent FP&A with senior stakeholders, pick things up when the Head of FP&A is unavailable.
