You will play an important role in shaping monthly forecasts, the annual budget and the 10‑year plan, helping the organisation plan with clarity and confidence.

• Deliver key financial responsibilities to the JV with care and accuracy, including management accounts, financial reporting, cashflow forecasting and distributions, while ensuring compliance with JV and SSE governance procedures.
• Support performance improvement through thoughtful analysis and proactive, relationship‑centred challenge, helping build the business case for recommendations and communicating effectively with senior stakeholders at Head‑of and Director level.
• Prepare, coordinate and lead the development of forecasts, budgets and long‑term plans, guiding stakeholders through the process and ensuring outputs are realistic, robust and aligned with wider strategy.
• Act as a trusted advisor on financial matters, providing reassurance, clarity and guidance, and working closely with key partners and subject matter experts across the business.

You Have

• Strong experience as a fully‑qualified accountant, with a background in business partnering, Finance Manager or Management Accountant roles, and a track record of supporting complex, real‑world business challenges.
• Excellent analytical and financial modelling skills, including familiarity with investment appraisal techniques.
• The ability to interpret and bring together insights from multiple data sources—including market intelligence—and translate them into clear, thoughtful recommendations and practical next steps.
• Confident communication and stakeholder‑management skills, with experience presenting financial performance to a range of audiences.
• A background in a commercially focused, operational environment, with an understanding of contract management, project delivery and financial planning.
