You'll be responsible for producing monthly finance packs for the Auto Trader leadership team and Board of Directors with a focus on accuracy and quality while maintaining strong time management to meet deadlines. 
A key part of the role will include supporting the group's annual planning cycle, including our midterm plan and annual budgeting process. By utilising your excel skills, you'll ensure our KPI reporting remains insightful and relevant to our continuously evolving business. You'll be able to highlight areas of risk and opportunity across the business and ensure we have the right data and analysis to support these workstreams. 

As part of a wider commercial finance team, you will have the opportunity to work on a range of ad hoc projects around analysis and controls with our business partnering and pricing teams in addition to supporting the FP&A Manager. By collaborating on a range of team projects, you'll be given the opportunity to grow and develop in the role too. 
The role also requires presenting information back to a range of stakeholders clearly and being able to accommodate non-finance individuals in the style you present data. 

What we're looking for
  • Working towards an accounting qualification (CIMA/ACCA/ACA)
  • Experience in a financial planning or commercially focussed finance role 
  • Strong excel skills with experience of creating finance decks using Powerpoint and able to present complex information clearly 
  • Strong commercial awareness 
  • Ability to work autonomously to tight deadlines and managing multiple priorities 
  • High level of accuracy and attention to detail 

During our application process, you will be asked two questions to help us learn more about you and how you align with our values. These will be used as part of our selection criteria, to determine if we progress your application further.

Benefits

We’re offering a salary of £35,000 – £42,000, plus an additional 10% of your salary awarded to you in shares each year. These awarded shares will become yours in yearly instalments over the next three years, and you can choose to either sell them or keep them as shares. 

You'll have 28 days holiday per year, and that's in addition to bank holidays and half day closures on Christmas and New Year's Eve.

That’s not all. You'll be enrolled in our pension scheme, where our standard contributions are 7% and employee contributions are 5%. We also have comprehensive private medical cover, enhanced family leave provisions, a car salary sacrifice scheme, share-save options, and much more. 

We always want to give you the support you need and help prioritise your wellbeing, that’s why we provide access to 24/7 online GP and dentist, as well as specialist support for assisted fertility, gender dysphoria, menopause, period care plans and lots more.  

On top of all that, our hybrid model, Connected Working, combines the best of both worlds – office and home working. You'll spend a minimum of 3 days a week in the office with your team, focused on collaboration and connection.

 Additionally, we have our remote-first periods at set times during summer and winter. During these periods, you can work remotely anywhere in the UK and from certain locations abroad.
