Hawthorn One are proud to be exclusively partner with a PE backed international SaaS and technology-led group seeking to appoint an FP&A Manager into a high-visibility role within its finance function. The business operates a recurring revenue model alongside complementary service lines and has grown through acquisition across multiple geographies. With a strengthened leadership team in place, the focus is now on improving financial visibility, enhancing performance reporting, and driving structured value creation. This is not a steady-state reporting role. It is a build-and-improve opportunity within an evolving PE-backed environment. The Opportunity This role is predominantly remote, with a requirement to be in the office once a week, reporting to the FP&A Director and working closely with the CFO, you will play a key role in strengthening forecasting, modelling, and decision support across the group. The organisation generates significant volumes of operational and financial data, but like many acquisitive businesses, systems and reporting processes are still maturing. Data sits across multiple platforms, integration is ongoing, and forecasting accuracy continues to improve quarter by quarter. As a result, this role requires someone comfortable working with complexity. You will not inherit perfectly structured models or fully automated reporting. Instead, you will help build robust frameworks, improve data integrity, and create clarity from imperfect information. The position will suit someone who enjoys solving problems, building structure where it doesnt yet exist, and partnering with stakeholders to improve how decisions are supported financially. Key Responsibilities You will develop and maintain integrated financial models to support budgeting, rolling forecasts, and longer-term planning. This will include scenario, sensitivity, and downside modelling aligned to PE-grade standards. You will produce meaningful monthly management reporting with clear variance analysis and KPI tracking, helping senior leadership understand performance drivers across the business. Candidate profile Working closely with commercial and operational teams, you will support pricing decisions, hiring plans, investment cases, and cost optimisation initiatives. Many stakeholders are looking to strengthen the financial frameworks behind decision-making, and you will help establish more consistent modelling standards. You will also contribute to short-term cash flow forecasting and investor reporting requirements, supporting board-level outputs and strategic initiatives as required. Alongside core analysis, there will be a strong emphasis on improving processes, enhancing data reliability, and strengthening links between finance models and underlying systems. Whats on Offer A highly visible role within a PE-backed international group Direct exposure to value creation and strategic initiatives Meaningful responsibility for core financial models and decision support Hybrid working (North West-based, typically 1 day per week in office) Competitive salary and benefits This opportunity offers significant scope to shape how FP&A operates within the business while gaining experience that extends well beyond traditional reporting.
