Blue Light Card. Individually great, together unstoppable

The Role and the Team

We’re looking for a Finance Business Partner to join us on an initial 6 month fixed-term contract to help our FP&A team deliver value to our growing business. Reporting directly into our Head of FP&A, you'll play a pivotal role in understanding and communicating the financial landscape of Blue Light Card.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to our company's growth, driving in-depth analysis of our revenue streams and cost base to help us deliver more value to our members.

We do the right thing, challenge the status quo, deliver on our promises, bring out the best in each other and treat others how we wish to be treated. If this resonates with you then we encourage you to apply to join our team at Blue Light Card and contribute to our mission.

What You’ll Do

• Drive our budgeting and forecasting process, working closely with senior stakeholders to accurately forecast our future performance and set targets
• Perform regular variance analysis to highlight the key drivers of our financial results, and recommended actions
• Partner with our Marketing, Design and Product teams to provide them with the analysis they need to optimise our member offering and drive more value for our members
• Perform market analysis and benchmarking to provide context around our member behaviour and financial performance
• Contribute to our long-term forecast model, including scenario analysis to inform executive decision-making
• Support with the implementation of our new FP&A system, Datarails

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience in FP&A, with a solid understanding of financial forecasting and analysis techniques
• A recognised qualification or part-qualification in Accountancy (e.g. CIMA or ACCA)
• Excellent data and analytical skills, including familiarity with forecasting, reporting, budgeting and reforecasting
• Strong communication skills, in particular the ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly and succinctly to non-finance business partners
• A track record of building strong business partnering relationships with colleagues at all levels including senior management
• Intermediate Excel skills (e.g. lookups, pivot tables, sumifs)
• Experience working in a marketing, tech or ecommerce/D2C company would be an advantage
• Knowledge of SQL or Power Query is a plus, but isn’t essential
