• Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and provide insights to management on financial performance. 

• Develop and maintain Group-wide cash flow forecasts. 

Analysis 

• Partner with property, asset management, and commercial teams across the Group's markets to build revenue, cost, and profitability models that reflect operational reality on the ground. 

• Provide financial analysis and support for strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions, expansions, and new property development. 

• Prepare scenario and sensitivity analysis and capex evaluation to support investment and expansion decisions. 

• Provide financial insights and recommendations to senior management. 

Board and Shareholder Reporting 

• Prepare Board packs and shareholder reporting materials, presenting a clear and accurate view of Group performance across all entities and geographies. 

• Act as a key point of contact for the Board and shareholders on financial planning, forecasting, and performance matters. 

• Tailor variance analysis and commentary (budget vs. actual, period-over-period) for Board and shareholder audiences. 

• Support the CFO in Board meetings and shareholder communications, including responding to ad hoc requests for financial information. 

Qualifications 

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. 

• Professional accounting or finance certification (e.g., CPA, CFA, ACCA, CIMA) is preferred. 

• Minimum of 8 years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience, including experience operating at a senior, business-partnering level.
