Finance Business Partner
This is a new function and it’s all up for grabs – the role is what you make of it.” That’s straight from the hiring manager, and it sums this one up perfectly.
We’re helping a fast-growing, private equity-backed business in Leicester build their brand-new FP&A team. This Finance Business Partner role gives you the chance to shape things from day one.
What’s the job really about?Think less “finance in a back office” and more “finance at the table, driving decisions.” You’ll work closely with senior leaders across Commercial, Growth, Marketing and Product. One day you might be deep in the numbers, uncovering what’s really driving performance.
The next, you’ll be in a strategy session, modelling scenarios to shape long-term plans.
A few things you’ll get stuck into:
- Owning budgets and forecasts
- Partnering with commercial and marketing teams to spot opportunities and challenges
- Analysing results and highlighting the “why” behind the numbers
- Benchmarking against the market and understanding customer behaviour
- Helping the exec team make smarter calls with long-term modelling
- £60,000 – £80,000 + bonus (part-time options available, 4 days a week)
- Hybrid working (1–2 days in the office, 35-hour week, flexible hours)
- Private medical cover (pre-existing conditions included)
- 25 days holiday + your birthday off + buy/sell up to 5 more
- Enhanced parental leave and sick pay
- Onsite gym, games area, chillout spaces, and free snacks
- Regular socials, summer and Christmas parties, plus recognition awards
- Named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing
If you’ve got solid FP&A experience, strong analytical skills (Power BI, SQL, Excel, that kind of thing), and enjoy being the bridge between finance and the rest of the business, this could be the role for you.
