Finance Analyst

The Role

We’re hiring a Finance Analyst into our Finance team.

This is a high-visibility role working directly with our VP of Financial Performance, Head of FP&A and Global Controller. You’ll carry out complex, high-impact analysis: identifying the drivers of performance, explaining forecast variances, and helping design better risk management and reporting tools.

You’ll also be Finance’s counterpart to the data team. You won’t be a data engineer, and this isn’t raw pipeline work. Instead, you’ll use data continuously to answer Finance’s questions, make reporting trustworthy, and make sure the dashboards and definitions we rely on are accurate.

In your first 12 months, you might:

• Analyse performance and forecast variances to identify the main causes and help improve forecasting.
• Build analysis that shows the levers available to the business to improve outcomes.
• Own the data inputs that feed regular financial performance reporting, whether through dashboards, presentations or ad hoc analysis.
• Take the lead on verifying that the dashboards Finance relies on are correct.
• Align data definitions with finance reports and get to the bottom of open questions like P442 revenue.
• Run ad hoc analysis for the CFO, Head of FP&A, Financial Controller and wider Finance team.
• Deploy single-purpose agents to make repeatable analysis faster and more accurate.

Responsibilities

Analysis

• Carry out complex, high-impact analysis to identify drivers of performance, explain forecast variances and surface levers the business can use to improve outcomes.
• Run ad hoc analysis for the CFO, Head of FP&A, Financial Controller and wider Finance team, turning findings into clear, decision-ready outputs.
• Work hands-on in Excel, SQL and single-purpose agents to make repeatable analysis faster, more accurate and easier to maintain.

Dashboards and reporting

• Take the lead on finance dashboards: understand the data underneath, test the logic, and verify that outputs are correct before they are used in reporting.
• Own the data inputs that feed regular financial performance reporting, whether through dashboards, presentations or ad hoc analysis.
• Support timely delivery of strategic finance performance updates each cycle, improving the reliability and consistency of the underlying data over time.

Finance-data interface

• Act as Finance’s day-to-day counterpart to the data team, translating ambiguous finance questions into clear data definitions, reference sources and analysis plans.
• Own the alignment between finance reporting and the underlying data, starting with resolving open questions such as P442 revenue.
• Reframe data outputs so they are usable by Finance leaders and trusted by non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

Must-Haves

• 2-3 years in investment banking, a modelling or data-analysis team at a Big Four firm, or a top-tier consultancy.
• You genuinely love digging into data - strong Excel and working SQL.
• Sharp analytical instincts - we’ll take a greener person who’s brilliant over years of tenure.
• You can turn an ambiguous finance question into a structured, correct analysis.
• A clear communicator whose work is immediately usable by non-technical stakeholders.

Desirable

• Exposure to energy, fintech, or trading businesses.
• Experience with BI or dashboard tools.
• Experience working directly alongside a data team.
