About the role

The FP&A Manager – Cash leads cash forecasting, planning and performance management across the business within a complex, matrixed environment.
 
While the role currently operates in an Excel‑led FP&A Cash model, supported by PowerPoint insight and existing SAP interfaces, it will play a central role in evolving the function towards a more standardised, systems‑enabled and analytics‑led operating model, with increasing use of predictive techniques and AI.
 
Acting as a subject‑matter expert for cash flow and working capital, the role supports stronger decision‑making, improved control and consistent delivery against cash targets, while helping shape the future direction of the Cash FP&A function.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead multi‑unit cash forecasting and annual planning across a complex, matrixed organisation, ensuring forecasts are robust, aligned to business priorities and continuously improved through greater standardisation and repeatability.
  • Drive disciplined quarter‑end cash delivery by coordinating Finance and operational stakeholders, tracking performance against forecasts and strengthening ownership and accountability for cash outcomes.
  • Build cash forecasting capability and accuracy across Finance by deepening understanding of cash drivers, promoting a strong cash culture and transitioning processes towards scalable, repeatable Cash FP&A frameworks.
  • Reduce manual effort and enhance insight through systems‑led standardisation, improved data flows and the progressive adoption of predictive analytics and AI, in partnership with Finance Systems and Transformation teams.
  • Act as a trusted cash and working capital expert, providing challenge and insight to support senior decision‑making while balancing near‑term delivery with longer‑term improvement.
  • Deliver high‑quality ad hoc and scenario analysis on emerging cash topics, communicating complex insights clearly and effectively to senior stakeholders and decision forums.

Essential Skills / Experience

  • Experience relevant to FP&A within a matrixed organisation, with a strong grounding in designing and running finance processes and performing complex analysis.
  • Strong analytical aptitude, with the ability to operate effectively in an Excel‑driven environment while showing curiosity and capability to adopt more advanced analytical approaches.
  • Demonstrable experience or interest in process improvement, standardisation and automation, including the use of finance systems, analytics or emerging AI tools.

Desirable Skills / Experience

  • An aptitude to coordinate complex, cross‑functional processes and influence stakeholders at multiple levels.
  • Exposure to cash flow forecasting and working capital management is advantageous, though depth of experience may be developed over time.
