A large, internationally recognised, listed organisation operating within the global supply chain and industrial services sector is seeking an experienced Senior FP&A Manager to join its high-performing Group Finance team on an initial 6-month fixed-term contract.

The company is a major player in its field, supporting some of the world’s largest manufacturers, retailers and consumer brands. With operations across multiple regions and a complex, asset-heavy operating model, this role offers significant scale, challenge and senior stakeholder visibility.

The Role

Reporting into Group Finance, the Senior FP&A Manager will lead a team of 3–4 analysts and managers, delivering high-quality insight, forward-looking analysis, and robust financial planning at the Group level.

• Deliver insightful performance reporting and commentary for senior leadership.
• Build and refine complex financial and scenario models.
• Partner with regional and functional leaders across a global network.
• Drive continuous improvement in planning processes and analytical capability.
• Support strategic initiatives, investment cases and performance reviews.

Candidate Profile

• Strong FP&A experience within a large corporate or listed business, ideally with exposure to supply chain, industrial services, logistics, manufacturing or other complex, multinational environments.
• Proven people leadership experience.
• Excellent analytical and financial modelling skills.
• Confident communicator capable of influencing senior stakeholders.
• Forward-looking mindset — comfortable in a planning and insight-focused role.
• ACA qualification desirable; ACCA or CIMA also considered strongly.
• Able to start at short notice and commit to a 6-month FTC.

What’s on Offer

• £100,000 salary (pro rata).
• Hybrid working — 2–3 days per week in a Central London office.
• High-level exposure within a global listed organisation.
• Strategic, senior FP&A responsibilities with real influence.
• Opportunity to shape Group-wide planning and analytical capability.
