Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior FP&A Analyst to join a growing international finance team on a full-time, permanent basis. This is a senior, commercially focused role suited to a qualified finance professional with strong financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, modelling and analysis experience.

The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting financial planning and decision-making across the business. This will include developing and maintaining forecast and budget models, preparing KPI reporting, delivering variance analysis, supporting monthly and quarterly reporting, and providing clear financial insight to senior stakeholders.

This role would suit someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced, complex environment and has the confidence to work cross-functionally with finance and non-finance teams. The position does not involve direct people management, but it does require a senior individual contributor who can take ownership of FP&A activity, improve processes and support the continued development of a strong commercial finance function.

• Prepare scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis and business case modelling.
• Provide financial insight to support strategic and operational decision-making.
• Work closely with Finance, Sales, Marketing, Technical and Operations teams.
• Support the continued development of the FP&A function within the business.
• Improve financial reporting processes, modelling standards and data accuracy.
• Ensure reporting structures, departmental coding and financial analysis support accurate actual versus budget reporting.
• Translate complex financial data into clear, practical and actionable business insight.

Requirements
• Qualified accountant with ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent qualification.
• Strong experience in FP&A, commercial finance, financial analysis, management reporting or financial planning.
• Excellent budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling experience.
• Strong understanding of P&L, balance sheet and cash flow.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, ideally including complex modelling experience.
• Experience using financial systems, BI tools or budgeting software would be advantageous.
• Strong analytical skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to interpret financial data and clearly communicate key trends, risks and opportunities.
• Strong commercial awareness and problem-solving ability.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and changing environment.
• Proactive, solutions-focused and comfortable driving process improvements.
• Experience in aviation, aircraft leasing, asset finance, financial services or another regulated sector would be advantageous but is not essential.
