Senior Financial Analyst – FP&A

Role Overview

The Senior Financial Analyst – FP&A will own the financial planning and analysis for a portfolio of contracted customer programmes and internal R&D activities within the Air Maneuver business line. This will include day-to-day forecasting, Estimate at Completion (EAC) maintenance, actuals analysis, variance reporting, bid pricing, and business case support across UK and European campaigns.

What You Will Do

The role has two pillars: programme finance and regional finance maturity. The balance between them will flex with business demand. The first is programme finance, where you will own the financial planning and analysis for a portfolio of contracted customer programmes and internal R&D activities. The second is regional finance maturity, where you will help build the internal management reporting process for the UK, Europe, and the Middle East region from scratch.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This is a new role created to bridge two critical requirements: hands-on programme finance across a live portfolio of contracted customer work, and the ground-up build of a regional finance capability that does not exist today. The role requires ownership, breadth, and the chance to build something from nothing.
