Position Overview: We are seeking a highly analytical and detail-oriented Financial Analyst to join our dynamic finance team. In this role, you will be instrumental in driving strategic decision-making by providing insightful financial analysis, forecasting, and reporting. The ideal candidate will transform complex data into actionable recommendations that support our company's financial health and ambitious growth plans. You will be expected to have full ownership and management of the end-to-end dealer rebate process.

- Comprehensive Reporting & Documentation: Design and generate a suite of detailed reports to document all rebate payments. These reports will provide clear visibility into payment history, claim status, and supporting details, serving as the single source of truth for internal and external audit purposes.
- Financial Analysis & Insight: Conduct thorough analysis of rebate data to identify trends, anomalies, and opportunities for optimisation. Provide actionable insights on program performance, cost drivers, and dealer behaviour.
- Budgetary Control & Forecasting: Monitor rebate accruals and payments against the established budget. Proactively report on variances and provide data-driven forecasts for future rebate liabilities to ensure accurate financial planning and accrual accounting.
- Management Reporting: Prepare and distribute regular management reports, including P&L analysis, key performance indicators (KPIs), and dashboards. Present financial results and insights to department heads and senior leadership.
- Data Analysis & Business Partnering: Partner with various departments (e.g., Sales, Marketing, Operations) to provide financial guidance and support their initiatives. Analyse operational and financial data to identify trends, opportunities for cost savings, and areas for improvement. Evaluate the financial viability of new projects, products, or business opportunities.
Required Qualifications & Skills:

We offer:
- Performance and experience-based competitive remuneration
