These key areas of cost will fall under your jurisdiction with the objective that you will identify tends and behaviours that allow the business to control them more .

As well as the analysis side, you will work to build out reporting tools and models to display this key information in a clear and actionable way. You'll build business cases, forecasts, budgets as well as get involved with major projects to look at where costs can be controlled here too. This is a highly visible role across the business so you will need to be someone who can demonstrate an ability to form strong working relationships and an ability to challenge in the right way. Strong excel and analytical skills will be essential when turning data into insight which can be clearly communicated to the business. This is a qualified level Finance role so you will be ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualified, or approaching final stages of finishing off your papers.
