Role Overview We are looking for a commercially driven and analytically rigorous Senior FP&A Manager to join our Finance team. Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will take ownership of the full financial planning cycle, provide high-quality insight to senior leadership, and act as a trusted business partner across operational and functional teams. You will also line manage an FP&A Analyst and deputise for the Head of Finance when required. Financial Planning & Analysis
Lead the monthly rolling forecast and annual budgeting cycle, driving cross-functional alignment and embedding a strategic focus on operational performance — ensuring high-quality, end-to-end integration of all inputs into financial models.
Produce detailed bridge reconciliations and provide clear, insightful variance commentary on movements between rolling forecasts, budget, and prior submissions.
Own and be fully accountable for the production and quality of detailed site-by-site budget packs, including rigorous analysis and clear narrative for the Group Finance function.
Review and provide assurance over Open Book analysis produced by the FP&A Analyst, delivering insight-led commentary and presenting outcomes to the UK Finance team on a monthly basis.
Compile a Five-Year Plan including variance analysis, bridge reconciliations, and concise commentary on differences to prior submissions.
Provide financial modelling, scenario planning, and analytical support to inform strategic decision-making, including Operating Board-level materials and sensitivity analysis as required.
Reporting
Contribute to the delivery of high-quality, insight-led commentary within performance reporting, including the identification and quantification of lost opportunities.
Review and validate weekly performance updates prepared by the FP&A Analyst, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of all reported financial variances.
Provide clear commentary on the Full Year Estimate section of the UK Finance report, ensuring timely escalation of key risks and issues as appropriate.
Business Partnering
Lead the robust review of site performance, applying strategic challenge to drive accountability, enhance decision-making, and improve financial outcomes.
Identify profit improvement opportunities across operational sites, working in close partnership with cross-functional stakeholders and the FP&A Analyst to co-develop and deliver high-impact action plans.
Support and maintain relationships with key supply chain partners — including feedstock providers and hauliers — to ensure costs are minimised where possible.
Oversee the strategic optimisation of energy assets, partnering with operational teams and the FP&A Analyst to monitor performance, evaluate current market conditions, and maximise site profitability.
Lead the identification, assessment, and management of financial risks and opportunities, driving proactive mitigation plans and value creation in partnership with key stakeholders.
Advise and influence senior leadership to shape strategic decision-making and drive alignment to business priorities.
Support external engagement to deliver sustainable cost reductions and supply diversification across critical spend categories — including utilities, consumables, and maintenance — undertaking regular contract reviews with Operations to optimise pricing, performance, and value.
Additional Responsibilities
Line management and development of the FP&A Analyst.
Deputise for the UK Head of Finance as required.
Support the development and implementation of system and process improvements.
Review and enhance financial control processes within the FP&A team.
