We are looking for a pragmatic Finance Business Analyst with a strong interest in financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, and data-driven decision-making. You will work closely with Finance, business stakeholders, and IT teams to make financial performance, resource requirements, and investment decisions more transparent and actionable.
This is a hands-on professional role, ideal for someone who enjoys working with numbers, analysing financial data, improving reporting processes, and translating complex information into clear business insights.

Experience with Power BI or similar BI/reporting tools is an advantage.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a structured and detail-oriented approach.
Ability to explain financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
