Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Manager

Role Overview

We are hiring an FP&A Manager to own financial planning, forecasting, and performance reporting across the group. This is the first dedicated FP&A role at Releaf. A target plan and commercial models are already in place. You will take ownership of their preparation, develop them into a full driver-based planning model, and set the standard for how planning and reporting work as we scale.

What You Will Do

You will report to the Finance & Commercial Director and work directly with the CFO and the Board, with no direct reports initially. Within your first year, you will own the preparation of the budget, the rolling forecast, the monthly performance, and the Board packs, and the group cash flow model.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role suits someone with at least three years post-qualification experience who has done FP&A inside a larger business, or a business that has scaled, and now wants the whole discipline rather than a slice of it.

Requirements

• Fully qualified ACA, ACCA, or CIMA with at least three years post-qualification experience
• Demonstrable ownership of budgeting, forecasting, and management or Board reporting
• Advanced Excel: driver-based modelling, including with large datasets
• Hands-on, current experience of using AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Microsoft Copilot
• Sound judgement on AI output: you know where it is reliable, where it is not, and you check before you rely on it
• A track record of building or materially improving a reporting process, ideally through automation and AI
• Experience structuring and managing finance data for reporting or analytics
• Confident communicating with and challenging senior non-finance stakeholders

Benefits

• Competitive salary, reviewed annually, plus a performance-related bonus
• Private health insurance and pension
• Funded professional subscription (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) and a personalised development budget
• Full access to Claude and the finance teams AI tooling from day one, and the time and backing to build with it
• Remote working with occasional UK travel, and the flexibility to structure your own week
• Employee Assistance Programme, employee perks, and Releaf staff patient benefits
• Direct exposure to the CFO and the Board from month one
• The chance to build an AI-enabled function rather than inherit a manual one
