Job DescriptionOpportunity
Unit4 is hiring an FP&A Manager to lead the financial planning, reporting and analytical agenda for our recurring revenue base — a strategically critical area of one of the fastest-growing PE-backed SaaS organisations in Europe.

- Own the production and quality of recurring reporting deliverables, including the monthly sponsor pack, budget packs, sponsor reporting requests, and ad hoc requests from business leadership
- Lead strategic projects on the revenue side of the business, including customer cancellation deep-dives, retention and churn analysis, pricing strategy reviews and segment profitability
- Work closely with stakeholders across Customer Success, Revenue Operations and the wider Finance function — identifying and acting on opportunities to improve customer retention and lifetime value
- Lead the data quality and governance agenda for the Revenue pillar, establishing standards and ensuring the team operates from a clean, controlled and trusted dataset
- Drive process improvement and automation across the Revenue pillar — turning the recurring reporting and analytical workload into an opportunity to introduce new tools, automation and AI-augmented workflows that elevate the team's output
- Support forecast and budget cycles for recurring revenue, working closely with the broader FP&A team and stakeholders across the business
- Step in on broader pillar priorities as required, supporting the Senior FP&A Manager across strategic finance projects and senior stakeholder requests

- Experience leading or coaching analysts; comfortable taking ownership of a team's growth and output
Skills and capability
- Strong analytical capability with the ability to translate complex data into clear, decision-useful insights
- Excellent commercial mindset — able to think strategically about the business, not just report on it
- Advanced Excel and PowerPoint; familiarity with modern analytical and reporting tools (Power BI, Snowflake, AI-assisted workflows) an advantage
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including to senior stakeholders; fluent English required
