The role of the Finance Department is to ensure the business prioritises its spending on the best projects and programmes to the benefit of our customers, whether that be elite players or kids playing their first game of mini tennis.
Your role as Finance Business Partner is about putting finance at the heart of decision making by providing insight to support robust business planning. You will identify cost benefits and payback, and drive value by influencing decisions to ensure all activity is aligned to the business strategy. You will have a pro-active approach ensuring that you are fully involved at the outset of all key projects to ensure that we are driving conversations at the top table.
You will build forecasts that are accurate, secure buy-in across multiple stakeholder groups, and routinely measure against these forecasts. You will develop hypotheses for what might be driving budget variances and in doing so develop cost mitigation, income generation or risk management strategies, taking pride in being able to not only understand the “what” but also the “why”. You will be a storyteller able to simplify the complex when communicating to senior audiences. This role will provide support to the Finance Manager, the Head of Finance, the Commercial Finance team, the wider Finance department, as well as the Executive and Leadership teams.
