  • Partnering with project, commercial, asset management and corporate teams to gather inputs, challenge assumptions and improve forecast accuracy.

  • Monitoring financial and operational KPIs across development, construction and operating renewable energy assets.

  • Supporting liquidity planning, funding analysis and reporting on project and portfolio performance.

  • Producing concise analysis and presentation materials for senior management, boards, shareholders and other stakeholders.

  • Supporting investment cases, business cases and ad hoc commercial or strategic analysis.

  • Improving reporting processes, controls, data quality and the effective use of finance systems and business intelligence tools.

To succeed in the role:

  • A relevant third-level qualification in finance, accounting, economics, business or a related discipline.

  • Relevant experience in FP&A, management accounting, commercial finance, audit, transaction services or financial analysis; experience in energy, infrastructure or project-based businesses is advantageous.

  • Strong financial modelling and analytical skills, with advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel.

  • The ability to interpret complex data, identify key drivers and communicate findings clearly to financial and non-financial stakeholders.

  • Excellent attention to detail, a strong control mindset and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.

  • A proactive, collaborative and commercially minded approach, with the confidence to challenge assumptions constructively.

  • Professional accountancy qualification, progress towards qualification, or equivalent relevant experience is desirable.

  • Experience with Power BI, ERP systems or other reporting and data visualisation tools is desirable.
