Key skills for this role
We are looking for an Senior FP&A Analyst to join the IFS Copperleaf finance team, based in the UK. You will be one of five in a close-knit, high-calibre FP&A team, working together on the forecast, planning and reporting cycle while owning your own areas of forecasting, performance reporting and commercial analysis.
The rest of the team is based in Vancouver, so this role carries the European day. You will be the FP&A point of contact for stakeholders across the UK and Europe, working autonomously while your colleagues are offline and handing over cleanly across time zones. As one of the senior members of the team, you will be someone we can look to when the Director, FP&A is not in the room.
The value of this role is not in producing the numbers, it is in explaining them. We need someone with real commercial awareness who can see the bigger picture, get to the insight behind the movement and put a clear recommendation in front of decision-makers. You will act as a trusted finance business partner, working cross-functionally with leaders across the business, and will mentor and develop junior members of the FP&A team.
This is also a data-forward role. Copperleaf is a fast-paced, high-growth business and we expect this role to be fluent with data - comfortable querying source systems directly, building production reporting in the Power Platform, and using AI and agentic workflows to shorten the distance between question and answer. We want someone with the tenacity to keep finding improvements in efficiency, quality and capability, and the toolset and appetite to build them rather than wait for them.
