Head of FP&A

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Our Mission

We're not your average benefits platform; we're the unordinary force that uplifts people's lives. Our technology is the link that connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers.

Our mission is clear: we're here to create a world where everything operates at its very best, ensuring that every employee receives the support they need to live life to the fullest, both at work and beyond.

Your Mission

As Head of FP&A, you will be a key strategic partner to the leadership team, providing insight-driven financial planning and analysis to support decision-making. You will also oversee the finance operations function, ensuring that billing, invoicing, and statutory reporting are executed efficiently and accurately. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and is eager to make a significant impact.

Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)

• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and financial modelling to support strategic decision-making and provide insight into business performance.
• Partner with senior leadership to support commercial initiatives, pricing strategies, and expansion plans.
• Design and implement financial dashboards and reporting for internal and external stakeholders.
• Conduct scenario planning and sensitivity analysis to assess potential risks and opportunities.
• Prepare board and investor reports, ensuring clarity and strategic alignment.

You will love this role if you have...

• Worked in management consulting, investment banking, or in accountancy in one of the big 4. In addition to this you'll have worked in a high growth startup environment.
• Strong financial modelling skills and experience with SaaS metrics (e.g., ARR, CAC, LTV, churn).
• Proven ability to translate complex data into actionable strategies and present findings to senior stakeholders.
• Experience leading teams and influencing across functions in a fast-paced environment.
• Proficiency in financial planning tools and advanced Excel skills.

You will not love this role if you...

• Aren't comfortable working in a fast paced environment.
• Are not ready to own your own results and be held accountable.
• Like maintaining the status-quo and aren't willing to think outside the box.
• Like a lot of structure and processes, we are a start-up and are still working things out and we don't always know what's next.
• Are not comfortable with ambiguity, we will give you guidance but sometimes you have to work things out.
• Wait for others to step up, or to be told what to do. We are a high-performance and high-reward work place and are looking for people who are proactive.
