Senior Finance Analyst

Harmonic are delighted to be partnering with one of the world's most recognised and ambitious design studios in their search for a Senior Finance Analyst to cover a maternity leave period of 13 to 14 months. The business is in an exciting period of growth, with a rapidly expanding team and an increasingly complex project portfolio spanning large-scale, multi-year commissions. The finance function sits at the centre of a creative, project-driven organisation, working closely with designers, project managers and commercial teams to keep ambitious work financially grounded. This is a genuinely collaborative environment that values curiosity, continuous learning and professional development - and one where finance is seen as a real commercial partner to the business, not just a back-office function. Reporting to the FP&A Manager, you'll take on a broad and commercially-facing remit, sitting at the intersection of financial planning, project performance and business partnering. The business operates with large, complex, multi-year projects, so a strong grasp of project profitability - tracking against milestones, monitoring resourcing, and identifying where performance is strong or under pressure - is central to the role. You'll work closely with Project Managers, Heads of Domain and Commercial teams, translating financial data into insight that helps the business make better decisions. There's also a process improvement element, with opportunity to enhance reporting through automation and smarter use of systems. Given the growth trajectory of the team and the business, there is a realistic chance this role could extend or transition beyond the initial FTC - though this cannot be guaranteed.
