This is a high-impact role at the centre of our Productivity & Change team, where you’ll be the go-to person for operational and financial insight.

- Lead deep-dive analysis on labour spend and productivity, identifying efficiency opportunities and savings
- Deliver P&L insight and variance analysis to highlight risks, opportunities, and cost drivers
- Collaborate across Finance, Ops, and IT to build reporting frameworks and insight decks that inform strategy
- Support budgeting and forecasting processes, ensuring alignment with operational models and initiatives
- Lead reporting for optimisation initiatives, tracking benefits and supporting business cases
- Represent Ops Insight in key steering groups including Scorecard, Bonus, and Business Information
- Own customer and people insight analysis, linking behaviour to operational performance
- Act as a key liaison between Finance, Operations, and senior leadership on cost priorities
What you’ll need
- Proven experience in financial and operational analysis
- Strong financial acumen with hands-on experience in P&L, budgeting, and forecasting
- High attention to detail and analytical accuracy
- Collaborative mindset with a proactive, can-do attitude
