Senior Finance Analyst
What You'll Be Doing
We owe our success to the way we’ve responded to changing markets. It has meant we’ve always been able to offer something that customers want. We’re able to do that because our stakeholders are in touch with how business decisions play out. As a Senior Finance Analyst, you’ll make this happen from a financial perspective.
You’ll provide a clear and detailed picture of our finances to support decision makers. Whenever information is required, you’ll implement the reporting necessary in obtaining it. Working with stakeholders in various business departments, you’ll ensure they have access to key financial information like budgeting, forecasting and performance reviews in its most digestible, relevant form.
As a key player in the delivery of capital investment business cases, including post-investment reviews, you’ll provide the link between project management and Finance. It’ll make you an influential figure here, able to advise and educate across the organsiation as well as recommend and implement improvements to Finance and wider business processes. Deputising for the Finance Manager when needed, you’ll be perfectly positioned when the time comes to progress your career here.
What You'll Bring to the Team
You’ll need to be a qualified accountant with an AAT/ACCA/CIMA qualification or have equivalent experience within a Finance function. Just as crucial, though, is your approach to business. We’re changing right now so you’ll be able to keep pace with that by acting on your initiative and prioritising your own work. You’ll also be experienced in making a valuable contribution to business decisions and have the commercial understanding to deliver expert, highly relevant analysis.
With a keen eye for detail and an approachable, influential manner, you’ll drive accuracy among your team members and in the departments you work with. A great communicator, you’ll be able to put important, but complex, financial concepts into terms that non-financial audiences will understand. You’ll also be ready to lead on standards and shape the future at our organsistion—and you’ll want to make a big impact with the work you do.
About Clarks
Clarks, based in Somerset, England, has been at the forefront of innovative shoemaking since its foundation in 1825 when brothers James and Cyrus Clark made a slipper from sheepskin off-cuts. At the time, it was ground-breaking: a combination of invention and craftsmanship that has remained at the heart of what the brand does now. In the Clarks archive, more than 22,000 pairs of shoes have sparked revolutions and defined generations. From the original Clarks Desert Boot, first designed by Nathan Clark and launched in 1950, to the iconic Wallabee, each design has an instantly recognisable signature that makes it unmistakably Clarks.
