octoenergy - FP&A Analyst
Responsibilities
• Financial Planning & Liquidity: Maintain and update short-term and long-term cash flow forecasts (3-statement modelling), monitoring cash positions across various funding facilities and operational activities. • Data Analytics: Write, maintain, and optimise SQL queries in Databricks to extract and transform data from large operational datasets. You will be the first line of defence for data quality, identifying anomalies and documenting issues with clear business context. • Performance Reporting: Track actual performance against budget, analyse variances, and identify key drivers. You will develop and maintain FP&A dashboards ensuring they remain accurate and fit-for-purpose. • Strategic Alignment: Produce ad hoc financial analysis for the CFO and teams across the business—including Strategy, Procurement, and Operations—connecting numbers to commercial outcomes. • Process Improvement: Partner with Tech and Product teams to ensure data infrastructure is fit for the FP&A function, translating finance requirements into clear briefs to improve forecasting accuracy and scalability. • ## What you'll have • Professional Experience: 1-2 years of experience in FP&A, commercial finance, data analytics, or a similar analytical role (Part-qualified or studying towards ACCA, CIMA, or ACA is a bonus). • Technical Aptitude: Strong SQL skills (you write queries confidently) and expert-level Excel / Google Sheets skills (you can build robust, auditable models from scratch). Exposure to data visualisation tools (Databricks, Power BI, Looker) or Python is a plus. • Analytical Mindset: High accuracy orientation. You notice when something doesn't add up and you don't move on until you understand why. You also possess a solid understanding of how the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow relate to each other. • Comfort with Ambiguity: You are comfortable working with imperfect data. You can size the materiality of a data problem and communicate it clearly rather than ignoring it or being paralysed by it. • Communication: Clear written and verbal communication, particularly when explaining data limitations or financial assumptions to non-technical stakeholders.
