This is a unique opportunity to transition (or further your career) into a high-impact industry role where you'll directly influence strategic decisions and contribute to a sustainable future.
As a Finance Business Partner, you'll be more than just a numbers person. You'll be a strategic advisor, translating financial data into actionable commercial insights that drive profitability and growth.

Cost Control & Strategic Planning: Analyse variances, identify cost optimisation opportunities, and contribute to strategic planning initiatives that maximise return on investment in renewable energy ventures.
Budgeting & Financial Modelling: Develop and evaluate budgets aligned with sustainability and renewable energy goals and create sophisticated financial models to support investment decisions and scenario planning.
Data-Driven Recommendations: Leverage data-driven analysis to present clear, commercially focused recommendations to senior leadership, driving informed decisions on investment opportunities and operational improvements.
This role provides an ideal platform for a newly qualified CA to transition into industry. Alternatively, if you are a current industry professional, it offers a challenging new role where you can significantly expand your commercial experience and influence. You'll apply your technical expertise in IFRS, financial analysis, and modelling to real-world commercial challenges, gaining (or enhancing) invaluable experience in a fast-paced, innovative sector.
