Your new company

You’ll be stepping into a fast‑moving, global organisation that’s genuinely changing how it runs. The business is investing heavily in its Shared Services model and cost transformation agenda, with finance right at the heart of it.
This is not BAU. Things are being built, reshaped and improved and senior leaders are actively looking for strong finance partners to help them do it well. If you enjoy momentum, scale and visible impact, this is a great place to be.

Your new role

This is a high‑profile FP&A Lead contract where you’ll sit right in the middle of the action. You’ll partner closely with senior functional leaders, helping them understand their cost base, make smarter decisions and deliver real change.

You’ll lead cost planning, forecasting and performance insight across a large Shared Services operation, while also helping to build out new ways of working including supporting the transition of finance activity offshore. There’s plenty of scope to shape processes, influence stakeholders and leave something better behind than you found it.

What you’ll be getting stuck into:

Owning cost budgets, forecasts and long‑term plans across people and non‑people spend
Producing sharp, senior‑level reporting for C-Suite
Supporting cost optimisation, org design and efficiency initiatives
Building and embedding strong FP&A processes in a growing Shared Services environment
Acting as a trusted, commercial sounding board for senior leaders

This role needs someone comfortable rolling their sleeves up, challenging the status quo and moving at pace.

What you'll need to succeed

This is one for experienced contractors who’ve been around the block and know how Shared Services really work.

You’ll do well here if you have:

Deep Cost FP&A experience in large, complex organisations
A strong background in Shared Services build, operation or transformation
Confidence working with senior stakeholders and influencing decisions
Solid budgeting, forecasting, modelling and performance reporting skills
The ability to bring clarity to messy data and fast‑changing priorities
A pragmatic, delivery‑focused mindset, you know how to make things happen

If you enjoy challenging environments, big cost bases and roles where finance genuinely matters, this one will keep you engaged.
