  • Support initiatives focused on revenue growth, occupancy optimisation, yield management and customer acquisition.
  • Develop robust business cases and investment appraisals for key projects and initiatives.
  • Identify opportunities to improve profitability, increase margins and optimise costs.
  • Lead budgeting, forecasting and planning activities for supported business areas.
  • Deliver monthly performance reporting, variance analysis, and financial commentary.
  • Present findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders to support business performance reviews.
  • Drive improvements in reporting, forecasting and commercial analytical capabilities.

About you...

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
  • Significant experience in Commercial Finance, FP&A or Finance Business Partnering roles.
  • Strong financial modelling, forecasting and analytical skills.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills with the confidence to challenge and influence at all levels.
  • Ability to communicate complex financial information in a clear and engaging way to non-finance audiences.
  • Advanced Excel skills and experience using financial planning and reporting tools.
  • Experience with Power BI, SQL, Tableau or other data visualisation tools would be advantageous.
  • Experience within hospitality, leisure, travel, retail or e-commerce sectors is beneficial but not essential.
