We’re looking for a Finance Business Intelligence Analyst to join our Finance team. This role is central to how Finance operates day‑to‑day, ensuring our systems, data, and reporting are accurate, reliable, and enabling better decision‑making across the organisation.
This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys working with data, systems, and reporting tools, and who takes pride in accuracy and structure. You’ll play a key part in maintaining finance systems, developing reporting solutions, and supporting the wider Finance function with the data they rely on.

Reporting & Business Intelligence
You’ll design, build, and maintain reports using Power BI, working with stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into clear, usable outputs. You’ll also develop and maintain Excel models to support financial analysis and reporting across the organisation.
System Development & Improvements
You’ll support ongoing system improvements and migrations, helping Finance evolve its tools and processes. This includes identifying opportunities to improve data flows, reporting capabilities, and system usability.
Finance Operations Support
You’ll contribute to the smooth running of Finance by supporting key operational processes, including delivering finance system inductions to new joiners and ensuring systems are set up correctly from day one.
Organisation & Delivery
This is a detail‑heavy role where you’ll manage multiple priorities at once. You’ll keep systems updated, track changes, respond to requests, and ensure reporting outputs are delivered accurately and on time.
