FP&A Analyst

Who you are

• Technical & advanced analytics: Advanced Google Sheets or Excel proficiency. SQL. Experience with BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, or specialised FP&A software (e.g., Pigment, Anaplan) is beneficial
• Proven ability to work in ambiguity: You can, with some support, frame a problem, find the right data, test hypotheses and move forward without waiting for perfect inputs. You can draw out the insights from complex or incomplete data
• Business acumen: You can join the dots between business imperatives, stakeholders’ priorities, and external factors
• Communication: You can challenge assumptions constructively and confidently with senior stakeholders. You can create board-ready and management level materials
• Experience: More than 2 years in investment banking, private equity, strategy consulting, or top-tier corporate finance/FP&A
• Proactive self-starter: The ability to work independently in a fast-moving, scaling environment
• Low Ego: You are equally comfortable developing the 3-year plan for the Board as you are digging into broken cell references in a Google sheet. You are happy to ask for help when you need it, and you jump in to help other people
• A "maker": You don’t do things "because that's how they’re done." You ask questions and figure out if there’s another way to do things
• You are commercially curious and outcome-focused
• Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we’re looking for!
