An established European alternative investment platform is looking to appoint a Senior Manager – Strategic Projects to join its Group Finance team in London.
This is a newly created position sitting at the intersection of commercial finance, strategy, and business transformation. Working closely with senior leadership, you'll help shape key strategic initiatives, improve decision-making through better financial insight and analytics, and play a leading role in the continued evolution of the finance function.
This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex business problems and wants significantly broader exposure than a traditional FP&A or finance role can offer.
The Opportunity
You'll partner with senior stakeholders across the business to evaluate new opportunities, build financial models, improve reporting capability, and drive projects that support the firm's continued growth.
Alongside strategic analysis, you'll help modernise finance through automation, improved data utilisation, and technology-enabled process improvement, becoming a key contributor to how finance supports commercial decision-making across the organisation.
