  • Develop, embed, and maintain the product profitability model to be more forward-looking, automated, and system-driven.
  • Partner with Product Managers to help them understand product margins, profitability, and how this impacts the strategic direction of our products.
  • Play a role in partnerships and acquisitions, including financial modelling, integration support, and ongoing reporting.
  • Understand the performance of new partnerships and acquisitions and liaise with other Finance Business Partners on the business impact.
  • Operate as a strategic change agent in relation to financial projects, gaining buy-in and engagement from a range of stakeholders at all levels.

    • Ability to analyse and report at a strategic and operational level in a concise and agile manner to suit the audience.
    • Confident and organised to lead projects in a structured way.
    • The workload is diverse and time-pressured, so you will be a 'right first time' type of person, comfortable keeping plates spinning while always delivering on time and to a high standard.
    • Curious and constantly striving for improvement; the ability to challenge the status quo and look for innovative and creative ways to solve problems and improve processes.
    • Proven experience of financial performance reporting and planning, with a clear view on how to present the information and make recommendations.
