Summary
This hybrid role offers a great balance of home and office working. You’ll join your colleagues in our London office at least 2 days a week.
As the UK’s largest fibre-only network, and its only proven wholesale challenger, we’re busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.
Designed from scratch for the internet, our network is greener, more reliable and ready for the future. The products we provide over it not only lead the market on speed, value and service, they help businesses to innovate, provide entire communities with a better foundation for their digital lives and support economic growth, locally and nationally.
What does that mean for you? The opportunity to make internet connections (and daily life) a whole lot better, for a lot of people!
Joining us as a Senior Finance Business Partner
Leading on business partnering across Design and Build teams, driving optimal financial performance across £0.5bn of CAPEX spend per annum
You’ll receive a competitive salary, a performance related bonus, and a range of benefits to support you across your financial, physical and mental wellbeing.
This is some of what you can expect to be doing:
Partner with E-Team members to manage ~£0.5bn CAPEX programmes, evaluate performance, and align future implications to company targets and long-range plans
Develop cohesive build and technology roadmaps based on business needs; assess financial impact and drive efficiency across short/long-term cashflows and broader plans
Lead all financial planning processes (budgets, forecasts, long-range planning); provide actionable insight and challenge on costs, KPIs, and business optimisation
Engage directly with senior leaders (Deputy CFO, Commercial Finance Director), manage direct reports, drive process improvements, and lead cross-functional finance projects across a complex stakeholder landscape
What you’ll bring to the role
As an accomplished Senior Finance Business Partner and a fully qualified accountant, you will bring strategic insight, commercial acumen, and professional certification to the role.
You’ll also have:
Significant experience operating at senior finance business partner level—or a standout track record as an exceptional finance business partner—demonstrated through impactful delivery across commercial finance
Clear evidence of driving results and value, with demonstrable success in managing complex financial initiatives and influencing business outcomes
Experience managing teams or mentoring others is desirable, bringing collaborative leadership and development skills
Background in telecoms or large capital investment programmes highly advantageous, showcasing familiarity with scale, infrastructure, and long-range planning
