• Ad Hoc & Strategic Analysis - Conduct exploratory and on-demand financial analysis to support projects, business cases, and performance reviews from department leads and senior leadership.

• Identify trends, outliers, or risks within financial datasets and raise them for consideration.
• Data Operations & System Support - Extract, clean, and prepare data from financial systems and standard SQL-based tables.
• Ensure data integrity across spreadsheets, internal platforms, and financial software.
• Propose process improvements in financial data handling, reporting automation, or analysis frameworks.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in a financial analysis, data analyst, or FP&A role.
• Comfortable working with financial software platforms (experience with Sage X3 and/or NetSuite a strong plus).
• Functional familiarity with SQL—able to write simple queries to extract and interpret data.
• Detect anomalies or inconsistencies in data.
• Translate financial insights for non-financial audiences.
• Tools (Big Query, Looker, Excel/ Google sheets)
• Experience supporting cross-functional financial initiatives with RevOps, AP, or AR teams.
• Exposure to BI tools such as Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or similar.

Note: We emphasise skills, expertise and behavioural attributes over years of experience and traditional degrees. If you want to join our collaborative team, we invite you to apply today with your resume in English.
