A day in the life
As a Senior Finance Analyst, you’ll play a core role in a number of projects at any one time. By tracking performance metrics, analysing data and building financial models, you’ll identify where we can drive better efficiency and productivity. You’ll also show us how different scenarios impact our business from a financial perspective, which is vital for many of our stakeholders to make business decisions.
This role will allow you to work independently, whilst also working closely with our partners to provide the insights they need. You’ll be predominantly based in one of our corporate offices but may also be based in another of our sites.
