Overview

We are supporting a global, high-growth, multi-entity business in appointing an Interim FP&A Lead to provide immediate cover within the International FP&A function.

This is a hands-on role requiring someone who can quickly embed, take ownership of core reporting and analysis, and operate with a high degree of accuracy and autonomy in a fast-paced environment.

A short handover period is expected, so the successful candidate must be available at short notice.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of core FP&A deliverables across international business units, ensuring accuracy and consistency of outputs
• Build, maintain, and refine Excel-based models and reporting packs, working with large and complex datasets
• Produce clear, simplified reporting outputs from complex underlying data to support senior stakeholder decision-making
• Deliver detailed variance analysis (actual vs budget/forecast), with robust commentary and clear articulation of drivers
• Support reforecasting and ongoing planning cycles, ensuring timely and accurate submission of data
• Implement and maintain strong control processes, including multiple review layers and sense-checking prior to distribution
• Partner with finance and operational stakeholders across multiple regions to gather inputs and validate outputs
• Step into an existing process environment quickly, stabilising and improving where required

Candidate Profile

• Proven FP&A experience within complex, multi-entity or international environments
• Advanced Excel capability is essential (comfortable working with large datasets, navigating models, and producing clean, usable outputs)
• Exceptional attention to detail, with a strong focus on accuracy, controls, and data integrity
• Hands-on, delivery-focused approach with the ability to work at pace
• Strong communication skills, able to present financial information clearly and concisely
• Immediately available (or on very short notice) to facilitate handover

Additional Context

• Office presence typically 4 days per week (occasionally 3), with no fully remote option
• Role is positioned as an initial 4-month contract, with flexibility to extend depending on business needs
