Do you have a Commercial Finance bid exposure and looking for an enterprising new role?

As a Senior Commercial Finance Manager, you will form an integral part of the team responsible for the pricing and financials on some of our most significant tenders for new business. This is a business-critical role where you will work with almost all departments of Sopra Steria to support a range of tenders with values ranging up to in excess of £100+million. There is regular contact with senior management, up to CEO level, and exposure to a wide range of customers and services across both public and private sectors.

To be successful in this role you will come from a strong financial background, with a good blend of technical and interpersonal communication skills as well as having an ability to illustrate and explain complex financial scenarios to finance and non-finance people alike.

The role will also involve the mentoring and strategic support of other Commercial Finance Managers and the bids they work on. In the role you will be required to attend monthly meetings in either Hemel Hempstead or London.

What you'll be doing:
  • Participating in assessments of the target price for each tender
  • Engaging with various teams across the business to efficiently collate, validate, understand, analyse, challenge and present the costs and assumptions underpinning the pricing model for each tender
  • Presenting income statements, balance sheets and cash flow analysis for our tenders to key partners
  • Communicating regularly with key partners including the Commercial Finance Director
  • Preparing and presenting alternative pricing options and scenarios
  • Participating in financial dialogue with key suppliers and clients
  • Assisting with the Sopra Steria tender governance process - providing financial information and responding to actions where required
  • Financial handover of successful tenders to the delivery and support teams
  • Supporting the deals, skills development and career progression of other Commercial Finance Managers in the team in a strategic capacity
  • Assisting the delivery and finance teams with financial queries on live contracts

What you'll bring:
  • Finance related degree and/or Accountancy qualification - part or fully qualified with ACA, CIMA or ACCA
  • Sophisticated numeracy, including ability to model scenarios and sensitivities
  • Strong excel skills
  • Strong verbal and written presentation and communication skills
  • Responding positively to tight deadlines, while being mindful of standards

It would be great if you had:
  • Awareness of IT/BPO projects and services
  • Experience of working on projects or bidding in a financial capacity
