Function

Group Finance — FP&A

Grade / Band

L5A1

This is a high-impact, ground-floor
opportunity for a commercially sharp and operationally resilient finance
professional. The Group FP&A Lead will be the architect of the Group's
financial planning and analysis capability — a function that does not yet exist
in its current form and must be built, owned, and driven by the person in this
seat.

Sitting at the intersection of finance,
strategy, and operations, this role will partner directly with the Group Head
of Finance and the senior leadership team to deliver the financial intelligence
that drives growth decisions across our Human Capital businesses in East
Africa. You will work with imperfect, unstructured data from multiple systems
and turn it into insight. That is not a temporary problem to be solved — it is
the defining challenge and the defining opportunity of this role.

We are not looking for someone who needs a
clean model and a pre-built dashboard. We are looking for someone who builds
the model, writes the rules, and teaches the business what good looks like.

Who You Report To

Group Head of Finance — a senior leader responsible for the overall
financial governance, reporting, and strategy of the Group. Your mandate
comes from this seat and your outputs feed directly into executive and
board-level decisions.

Who You Work Alongside

Financial Controllers for Uganda and Emerging Markets — your primary
internal clients and data partners. You translate the numbers they hold into
the forward-looking financial story the business needs.

3. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 Financial Planning & Budgeting

•
Own and lead the Group's annual budgeting and multi-year financial
planning process from inception — this means designing the process, not just
running it

•
Build budget templates and planning models that work across multiple
entities, currencies, and business lines within the Human Capital portfolio

•
Consolidate submissions from Uganda and Emerging Markets Financial
Controllers into a coherent Group view

•
Work with senior leadership to translate business strategy into
financial targets and resource plans

•
Challenge assumptions, stress-test plans, and ensure budget submissions
are grounded in commercial reality

3.2 Forecasting & Performance Monitoring

•
Design and own the Group rolling forecast cycle — monthly and quarterly
— working with imperfect, multi-source data

•
Build variance analysis frameworks that explain what happened, why it
happened, and what the business should do about it

•
Develop leading indicators and early-warning metrics specific to the
Human Capital / staffing sector in East Africa

•
Track financial performance against budget and forecast across all
business units, flagging risks and opportunities proactively

•
Translate financial performance data into clear, concise management
commentary for the Group Head of Finance and Board reporting

3.3 Management Reporting

•
Design and produce the Group's monthly management accounts pack — from
scratch — including P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and KPI dashboards

•
Build standardised reporting templates that can be replicated and scaled
as the finance function grows

•
Ensure reporting is consistent, comparable, and decision-grade across
all entities

•
Present financial results and insights clearly to non-finance
stakeholders, including country and functional leaders

3.4 Data Architecture & Systems

•
Work effectively with unstructured data from Excel files and multiple,
partially embedded ERP/HRIS systems — this is a core requirement, not a
temporary state

•
Design data collection and aggregation processes that bring structure
and consistency to fragmented financial information

•
Partner with IT and Operations to define data requirements as systems
are embedded and upgraded

•
Build and maintain Excel-based financial models of institutional quality
— scalable, auditable, and documented

•
Act as the bridge between the business's current data reality and its
future system ambitions

•

3.5 Business Partnering & Commercial Finance

•
Partner with country and functional leaders to support commercial
decision-making — pricing, bid modelling, contract profitability, headcount
planning

•
Develop financial models for new business opportunities, market
expansions, and strategic initiatives

•
Bring a Human Capital sector lens to financial analysis — understanding
staffing ratios, billable utilisation, contractor margin dynamics, and
workforce cost drivers

•
Provide financial input into tender and proposal processes where revenue
impact is material

3.6 Function Building & Process Design

•
This is a build role. You will design the FP&A operating model —
processes, calendars, templates, governance, and ways of working — from the
ground up

•
Establish financial planning standards and discipline across the Group
that did not previously exist

•
Define what a future FP&A team looks like, and lay the groundwork
for future hiring as the function scales

•
Document all models, methodologies, and processes to professional
standards

Requirements

4.1 Essential Qualifications & Experience

✔

Fully qualified accountant — CPA, ACCA, CFA, or equivalent.

✔

Minimum 5 years post-qualification experience in FP&A, commercial
finance, or management accounting & 3 years as a senior contributor or
lead role with ownership

✔

Demonstrable experience building financial models, budgets, and
forecasts in complex, multi-entity environments

✔

Advanced Excel proficiency — modelling, Power Query, dynamic arrays,
and complex data manipulation (not negotiable; this is your primary tool)

✔

Experience working with unstructured, multi-source data and building
order from it

✔

Exposure to East African business environments — Uganda or other East
African markets strongly preferred

✔

Prior experience in the Human Capital, staffing, BPO, or professional
services sector advantageous

4.2 Competencies & Attributes

Given the build nature of this role,
technical skills alone are insufficient. We are looking for the following
profile:

Competency

What We Mean

Builder Mindset

You create structure where none exists. You are energised by a blank
page, not intimidated by it.

Analytical Rigour

Your models are clean, your logic is traceable, and your numbers are
right. You check your own work.

Commercial Instinct

You connect financial data to business outcomes. A variance is a
story, not a no.

Communication

You translate complex financial analysis into language that drives
decisions. You write well and present with confidence.

Resilience & Adaptability

You work well with imperfect information. You are not paralysed by
missing data

Influence Without Authority

You have no team. You get things done through relationships,
credibility, and persistence.

Ownership

You do not wait to be asked

Intellectual Curiosity

You are interested in the business, not just the numbers. You ask why.

Requirements

All candidates who meet the criteria outlined above are encouraged to apply under the job vacancy
