StokeonTrent, United Kingdom Alton Towers Resort Full time

**Finance Business Partner**

**Location: Alton Towers Resort / UK Flexible**

A job with Merlin isn’t like a job anywhere else. With attractions around the world, from rollercoasters to wax figures, we don’t trade in suits, handshakes or briefcases. We trade in fun. In smiles, shrieks and spine-tingles. In Memories. In magic. But there are no tricks behind our magic. Instead, there are people like you. Passionate, dedicated people who are committed to making sure our worldwide attractions and guests’ experiences are the best they can be.

Due to continuing growth and development of Merlin’s attractions and brands on a global scale, we are looking for a Finance Business Partner to join our Resort Theme Park's (RTP) team. This role will can be based within any one of our UK offices.

**About the Role**

Join the Resort Theme Parks operating group finance team, acting as a key finance business partner to key functional stakeholders. This is a fast-paced and exciting role, requiring someone with excellent analytical skills, good financial acumen and the ability to work to tight deadlines. The role will suit someone who is passionate about delivering first class analysis to drive great decision making.

You will offer financial business partnership to essential stakeholders, as well as conducting regular and ad-hoc analysis and generating insightful reports across Operating Groups. The role will shape RTP financial planning through precision budget evaluation tools, uncovering inaccuracies. There will be a need to collaborate with stakeholders for personalised analysis, revealing business trends and delivering Operating Group-wide analysis, reports and insights regularly.

**Main Responsibilities**:

- Decode financial data to unveil performance nuances that drive success.
- Team up with divisions, unravelling explanations and gathering info to craft concise, impactful commentary.
- Craft on-demand analysis that sparks strategic clarity.
- Diligently review, challenge and perfect reports.
- Keep trackers and control sheets fresh and updated.
- Master the art of completing and submitting group reporting templates.
- Support financial planning processes with finesse.
- Shape a suite of reports that elevate budgeting, planning and forecasting.
- Thoroughly review submissions, dissect assumptions and provide insightful feedback.
- Assist teams in adhering to and documenting group processes.
- Manage and track central capex and board papers.

**About You**

As part of our team, you'll bring the wizardry of being an ACCA/CIMA part-qualified or fully qualified accountant, with hands-on experience gained from thriving in a fast-paced finance team. Your mastery of excellent analytical skills, both for financial and non-financial data, will be a testament to your deep understanding of core accounting principles. You'll be a skilled navigator of interactions across a diverse spectrum of individuals, with remarkable communication talents, both written and spoken.

Additionally, your extraordinary personal organisation and time management abilities will make you a conductor of efficiency in our magical orchestra. While not essential, possessing knowledge of Hyperion and TMI will add an extra sparkle to your already impressive skill set.

**The Perks**

We’re growing fast and alongside a fun and friendly environment, we offer a fabulous package and amazing prospects - ideal if you’re already fantastic and can quickly become even better (our magic can help here). Benefits include Study Support, Pension, Life Assurance, discretionary company bonus, 25 days’ holiday and, of course, a Merlin Magic Pass which gives you and your friends and family free admission to all of our attractions worldwide, as well as 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants and 40% discount on LEGO.

**Everyone Matters at Merlin.**

At Merlin we welcome the world to our magical attractions and resorts every day and we want to reflect that same multicultural mix inside our business too. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where people can be themselves, have the same opportunities and thrive together. Because at Merlin, everyone matters Together, we work to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, no matter their age, race, gender, disability or sexual orientation. Although we understand that we'll always be learning and growing, we aim to be the most inclusive and flexible employer in our industry.
