We are looking for a Finance Business Partner who can connect the dots between Finance, Product and Commercial teams. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys turning complex data into clear business insight, challenging assumptions and helping stakeholders understand what is driving performance. You will take ownership of a product area while collaborating closely across the wider team, with the space to improve processes, introduce better ways of working and become a trusted partner to the business.

Your Influential Mission: You Will…

• Act as a trusted financial partner to product, commercial and business stakeholders, bringing a clear financial perspective to operational decisions.
• Own the financial partnership for an assigned product area while collaborating across the wider Finance Business Partnering team and commercial matrix.
• Lead budgeting and monthly forecasting activities for your area, challenge assumptions and help build realistic, aligned projections and scenarios.
• Monitor P&L performance, CAPEX and key financial and operational metrics, including revenue, EBITDA and operating costs.
• Perform variance analysis against budget, forecast and prior year, identifying trends, risks and opportunities and translating them into practical recommendations.
• Turn high-volume, complex datasets into concise management reports, visual presentations and clear strategic narratives.
• Handle ad-hoc financial and strategic analysis with sound judgement, ownership and appropriate guidance from the team.
• Partner with FP&A, Billing and Data teams to improve data accuracy, streamline processes and build more efficient tools and ways of working.

Components for Success: You…

• Bring at least 3 years of relevant experience in FP&A, finance business partnering or another analytical finance function.
• Hold a bachelor’s degree in Economics, Accounting, Business, Mathematics or another relevant discipline.
• Have advanced Excel skills and can work independently with complex and large datasets.
• Can interpret financial performance, build scenarios and confidently challenge numbers or assumptions when something does not look right.
• Are comfortable working with ambiguity and using your own judgement rather than waiting for step-by-step direction.
• Combine strong analytical thinking with business acumen and the ability to explain financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
• Communicate confidently in English and build effective working relationships across teams and seniority levels.
• Are adaptable, collaborative, self-motivated and ready to take responsibility for your work.

• Hands-on experience with Power BI, IBM Planning Analytics or AI-enabled tools.
• Experience improving finance processes, automating reporting or introducing new analytical tools.

Thrive in a culture that values...

• Ownership and trust, with the opportunity to become a reliable right hand for complex analysis and business requests.
• Curiosity, critical thinking and constructive challenge rather than simply executing instructions.
• Collaboration across Finance, Product, Commercial, FP&A, Billing and Data teams.
• Continuous improvement, innovation and openness to change.
• Flexible and hybrid working after the probation period, with three days in the office and two days working from home.
• A competitive remuneration package including a 13th salary, annual bonus, paid leave, medical insurance and a provident fund with employer contribution.
• A diverse, collaborative office environment, company events and additional employee benefits.

FINANCE BUSINESS PARTNERING TEAM

You will join a collaborative Finance Business Partnering team that sits at the centre of Finance, Product and Commercial decision-making.
