Senior Strategic Modelling Analyst (FP&A)

My client is looking for a hands on, commercially minded FP&A modeler to work directly with the CEO and help turn strategic ideas into actionable financial plans. This is a future focused, decision driving role, ideal for someone who thrives on building models from scratch, running scenarios, and helping scale high growth businesses with real time financial insights. You will own the forecast, lead scenario modelling, and track key drivers like working capital, pricing/mix, and supplier costs-translating complexity into clarity for the leadership team.

This role involves working closely with the CEO to develop financial strategies and models that support the company's growth and operational efficiency.

• Translate strategy into numbers: Build and maintain driver based financial models aligned to the CEO's goals.
• Forecasting: Create 18-24 month rolling forecasts across revenue, COGS, OPEX, capex, and cash needs.
• Scenario Planning: Run 'what if' models for pricing, FX, demand swings, and supplier delays.
• Working Capital: Monitor and forecast stock, receivables/payables, and the company's cash runway.
• Supplier Analysis: Track costs (materials, FX, freight, duties) and performance (cost, quality, lead time). Build scorecards and prepare monthly supplier updates. Provide insights for negotiations and participate in quarterly reviews.
• Decision Support: Prepare concise decision packs outlining risks, sensitivities, backup plans, and key actions to achieve targets.
• Investment & Capacity Planning: Support capex planning, growth financing, and product mix strategies with robust financial models.

• Proven experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or commercial modelling roles.
• Expertise in driver based and rolling forecasts.
• Strong capability in scenario modelling and investment cases.
• Hands on experience tracking working capital and cash runway.
• Ability to turn ambiguous problems into structured, data driven plans.
• Exceptional Excel (Power Query, Power Pivot) and proficiency in Python/SQL.
• Dashboarding or reporting skills in Power BI, Looker, or similar tools.
• A proactive mindset with the confidence to work directly with C level stakeholders.
• No need for people management-this is a doer role.

• Driver Based Forecasting
• Rolling Forecast
• Scenario Modelling
• Cash Flow Planning
• Working Capital Management
• Capex & Capacity Planning
• Supplier Cost Tracking & Scorecards
• Pricing & Product Mix Sensitivity
• Investment Case Modelling
