Senior Manager - Business Finance

We don’t think about job roles in a traditional way. We are anti-silo. Anti-career stagnation. Anti-conventional. Beyond ONE is a digital services provider radically reshaping the personalised digital ecosystems of consumers in high growth markets around the world. We’re building a digital services aggregator platform, with a strong telco foundation, and a profitable growth strategy that empowers users to drive their own experience—subscribe once, source from many, and only pay for what you actually use. Since being founded in 2021, we’ve acquired Virgin Mobile MEA, Friendi Mobile MEA and Virgin Mobile LATAM (with 6.5 million subscribers) and 1600 dedicated colleagues across Chile, Colombia, KSA, Kuwait, Mexico, Oman, Pakistan and UAE. To disrupt for good takes a rebellious spirit, a questioning mind and a warm heart. We really care about how to get things done and not who manages who. We benefit from our diversity, and together, we disrupt the way we and others thinking about our lives for good. Do you want to exchange ideas, learn from each other and leave your mark on our journey? This is the place for you. **About the Role** We are looking for a Senior Finance Business Manager to partner closely with our leadership team and serve as the primary finance business partner for the group. This role sits within Group FP&A and is responsible for owning the full forecasting, budgeting, multi-entity consolidation, management reporting and performance analysis cycle. You will translate commercial and operational performance into clear financial insight, build the models and business cases behind key decisions, and help leaders — up to CEO level — make better and faster calls. A meaningful share of this role is unscheduled: CEO questions and urgent projects can land mid-close, alongside a reporting and budget calendar that is fixed externally. You'll need to reprioritise quickly, scope an open-ended request into a usable answer, and still deliver on the scheduled calendar. **What You Will Do** - Own the end-to-end forecasting cycle, including weekly forecasts, monthly outlooks and formal forecast submissions (3+9, 6+6 and 10+2) - Lead the annual budgeting process across all functions, ensuring alignment with business priorities and Group objectives - Build driver-based financial models from a blank sheet — not only maintain existing files — including scenario and sensitivity analysis - Construct investment appraisals (DCF, NPV, IRR, payback) and business cases from commercial assumptions to support strategic initiatives - Own multi-entity consolidation, including intercompany eliminations and FX translation, and discuss accrual, capex/opex and revenue recognition treatments with the accounting team - Deliver board-standard management reporting — monthly business reviews, executive presentations and performance commentary that convert a consolidation into commentary an executive audience can act on - Walk a P&L from budget to actual through variance and bridge analysis, attributing movements to identifiable drivers - Partner with commercial, marketing, sales, technology and operational teams to understand business drivers, challenge assumptions, and obtain information from teams that don't report into finance — following up consistently until items are closed - Own cost centre budgets and budget-to-actual control, including commitment and accrual discipline (POs, committed spend tracking) and a spend threshold / delegation of authority framework - Own cash flow forecasting and short-term liquidity visibility - Drive monthly closing reviews, ensuring actual performance is reconciled and clearly communicated to leadership - Champion data accuracy and reporting integrity across ERP, BI and financial reporting platforms - Act as a trusted advisor to the leadership team — and, critically, connect immediate requests back to the Group's longer-term plan, surfacing the trade-off when the two pull in different directions - Share models, assumptions and context with the wider team as a matter of routine, and involve colleagues in your own work rather than concentrating it **What You Will Need: Experience & Qualification** - 8–12 years of finance experience, including at least 5 years in FP&A, one full budget cycle owned end-to-end, and exposure to board or C-level audiences. We will consider 5 years total where that experience is group-level, multi-entity FP&A. - Professional qualification required: ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CPA or equivalent. CFA or MBA is an advantage. **Technical Skills** - Driver-based financial modelling from scratch, scenario and sensitivity analysis - Investment appraisal: DCF, NPV, IRR, payback, and business case construction from commercial assumptions - Variance and bridge analysis - Advanced Excel, including large data sets and Power Query, working with imperfect source data - Multi-entity consolidation, including intercompany eliminations and FX translation - Working knowledge of IFRS - Board-standard management reporting - Cost centre budget ownership, commitment/accrual discipline, and delegation of authority frameworks - Cash flow forecasting and short-term liquidity visibility - ERP exposure required — SAP, Oracle, NetSuite or Dynamics (any one) - A planning/EPM tool preferred — Anaplan, Oracle EPM/Hyperion, Adaptive, Board or SAP - BI tooling preferred — Power BI or Tableau **Behavioral Skills** - Financial acumen — understands the mechanics behind the numbers, judges which ones matter, and recognises when a result looks implausible before it's published - Attention to detail — checks work systematically and traces figures back to source - Communication — explains complex financial positions to non-finance audiences in plain terms, and holds a position under challenge while revising it when the counter-argument is sound - Organisational awareness — works effectively in a matrixed, multi-entity organisation with competing priorities and informal lines of influence - Collaboration — shares models, assumptions and context with the wider team as routine practice, and involves colleagues in their own work rather than concentrating it - Growth mindset — takes on unfamiliar areas without needing full guidance, seeks input, and acts on feedback - Responsiveness to unplanned work — reprioritises quickly for CEO or urgent asks mid-close while keeping scheduled deliverables on track - Influence without authority — obtains information from teams outside finance and follows up consistently until items are closed, in a way that keeps the relationship productive - Strategic orientation — reads immediate requests against the Group's longer-term plan and surfaces the trade-off when they diverge - Non-Negotiables - Clear written and verbal English, at a standard suitable for board and SLT materials - Manages own timeline against a fixed external reporting/budget calendar, and raises slippage risk early - Work is checked and reconciled before it is issued - Hands-on — this role has limited support beneath it; you build the analysis yourself - Discretion — this role has visibility of confidential cash, compensation and transaction information **Industry & Background** - Telco is the ideal background but not a must-have — it brings familiarity with subscriber/ARPU economics and multi-market operations - Also relevant: connectivity businesses, digital and technology companies, group HQ FP&A roles in any multi-entity sector, and Big 4-trained candidates who moved into industry FP&A - Genuine group, multi-entity experience is not flexible. A career built within a single legal entity in a single market will find the consolidation and OPCO-facing work a significant step up - Emerging markets exposure is valuable given our footprint, which includes Pakistan; UAE experience is helpful but not required - Controllership or accounting backgrounds without forward-looking planning work are less suitable for this role **What we offer:** - Rapid learning opportunities - we enable learning through flexible career paths, exposure to challenging & meaningful work that will help build and strengthen your expertise. - Healthcare and other local benefits offered in market.
