Key Responsibilities if the Financial Strategy Analyst:
• Develop and enhance financial models to support strategic projects and commercial opportunities.

• Advanced Excel and modelling skills (complex formulas, pivot tables, scenario modelling).
• Strong analytical thinker with a commercial mindset — able to turn numbers into strategy.
• Excellent communication skills, comfortable presenting complex data to non-finance audiences.
• Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, changing environment.
• Experience in fleet services, energy, or financial services is a bonus.
• Knowledge of ERP/financial systems (Oracle, Business Objects, Peoplesoft) desirable.
