About The Position

We are seeking a hands-on, proactive analytically minded Senior FP&A Analyst to help shape strategic, data-driven decision making. This role is focused on building a business-oriented, data-driven, and operationally supportive finance organization. Rather than a traditional accounting profile, we are looking for a commercially curious thinker who can turn financial data into insights and actions. The ideal candidate is hands-on, thrives in a dynamic environment, and can drive process improvement while acting as a strong business partner to the local Vice President and cross-functional teams. The Senior FP&A Analyst will help shape strategic, data-driven decision making by analyzing financial performance and guiding forecasting and budgeting efforts. You will partner with leadership to support long-term planning, provide actionable insights and drive business growth. The role is very hands-on, with responsibilities in both financial planning & analysis and day to day financial accounting functions.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Business Administration, Economics or a related field
• 5-8 years of experience in financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting and general financial accounting — preferably in a manufacturing or B2B environment
• Proven ability to analyze financial and operational data, build business cases, and translate numbers into actionable insight
• Strong data modeling and analysis skills — able to build and own the models yourself
• Excellent communication and storytelling ability; can synthesize data into a clear and compelling narrative for senior stakeholders, including the Group CEO and CFO
• Advanced Excel skills
• Proactive and hands-on mindset: thrives in lean organizations where initiative, autonomy, and execution matter
