Hybrid working, with ~1 day per week in a South East office
An opportunity has arisen for an FP&A Business Partner to join a growing, project-led business in a highly visible, commercially focused role with a strong EMEA focus (particularly Europe) and exposure to India.
This isn’t a “sit in the background and report numbers” type of job. It’s for someone who wants to be in the room, influencing decisions, challenging thinking, and partnering with stakeholders across multiple countries to help shape the direction of the business.
At its core, this role sits at the intersection of finance and operations, turning data into insight, and insight into action. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders across European markets and India, getting under the skin of performance and driving better outcomes in a multi-entity, fast-moving environment. If you enjoy asking “why?”, thrive in an international setting, and want your work to have genuine cross-border impact, this is where finance gets interesting.
The role includes:
- Acting as a trusted finance partner to operational, sales, and delivery teams across UK/Europe and India
- Preparing and maintaining financial models, budgets, forecasts, and long-range plans
- Analysing project and contract profitability, including job costing, margins, and WIP
- Developing, monitoring, and reporting on KPIs, highlighting trends, risks, and opportunities across regions
- Supporting pricing, costing, and tender reviews across multiple markets
- Delivering variance analysis with clear commentary and actionable recommendations
- Supporting cash flow forecasting, working capital management, and billing cadence
- Assisting with month-end close activities and ensuring accurate financial reporting
- Driving improvements in financial processes, controls, and reporting tools
- Translating financial data into clear insights for non-financial, international stakeholders
- Supporting ad hoc analysis, investment cases, and growth initiatives
- Partnering closely with the Head of HR (EMEA/APAC) to support smooth international operations
This is a hands‑on role, you’ll need to be comfortable rolling your sleeves up while also thinking commercially and strategically in an EMEA‑led environment.
What we’re looking for:
- ~5 years’ experience in FP&A, commercial finance, or business partnering
- Strong international experience across EMEA (essential), with a particular focus on European markets
- Exposure to India or working with offshore teams in India is highly desirable
- Proven ability to work with overseas stakeholders across different time zones and business cultures
- Strong stakeholder skills - able to influence, challenge, and build credibility at all levels
- Experience in multi‑entity or complex environments
- Comfortable operating in an evolving SME environment
- A self‑starter with energy, drive, and a hands‑on mindset
- Resilient and able to operate at pace
- Strong commercial awareness and attention to detail
The details:
- UK-based, ideally within commutable distance to St Albans
- Hybrid working (~1 day per week in the office)
- High exposure to senior leadership
Package (indicative):
This role suits someone who wants meaningful international exposure (particularly across Europe), real impact, and real responsibility, while still being hands‑on and close to the detail.
