Role Purpose

The Finance Solutions & Business Analysis Supervisor is a senior individual-contributor within the Finance function, responsible for delivering innovative reporting, analytics, automation, and digital finance solutions that support strategic and operational decision-making across the business.

This is a hands-on builder role. The majority of your time will be spent designing and delivering data models, financial analyses, Power BI solutions, and Power Platform automations — not only coordinating the work of others. Any supervisory element is focused on standards, guidance, quality, and enabling colleagues, rather than traditional full-time people management.

Combining strong financial acumen with advanced technical expertise, the role serves as a trusted partner to Finance and business stakeholders, translating complex and often ambiguous requirements into scalable solutions that enhance forecasting, reporting, planning, and performance management.

The incumbent plays a critical role in advancing digital finance capabilities through Power BI, Power Platform, TM1 Planning Analytics, and other enterprise systems, while ensuring data integrity, governance, and compliance with Group standards. Through analytical expertise, business partnership, and continuous improvement, this role strengthens financial visibility, improves reporting quality, and enables informed decision-making across the organisation.
