FP&A Manager | Hyper-Growth Design Consultancy | London (Hybrid)

The Client

Harmonic are delighted to be working with a hyper-growth business in the design space who are currently turning over £80m, with ambitious plans to significantly increase their revenue over the next few years. The business has established itself as a leader in its sector by combining commercial success with a design-led approach. Their growth has been driven by a combination of strong brand identity, exceptional service, and a commitment to sustainability. Operating at pace, they are well-positioned to capitalise on emerging market opportunities, with strategic investments planned to support their next phase of expansion both in the UK and internationally.

The culture is one of the company’s biggest strengths. Theyr'e inclusive, down-to-earth, and built on genuine collaboration across all departments. Their beautifully designed Central London offices reflect their focus on creativity and innovation. The finance team are engaged and entrepreneurial, encouraged to share ideas and take ownership of projects. Regular social events, industry networking opportunities, and a shared passion for design create a workplace that balances professionalism with a strong sense of community.

The Role

Reporting directly to the CFO, with a dotted line to the founder, this role offers a unique blend of strategic and operational influence within a high-growth, design-led retail brand. As FP&A Manager, you’ll take full ownership of the day-to-day running of the FP&A function, ensuring the business has the financial clarity and insight it needs to make informed decisions. You’ll be instrumental in building and refining complex multi-currency, three-statement financial models, supporting accurate budgeting and forecasting cycles, and providing forward-looking analysis that underpins investment in future growth. Alongside the core FP&A remit, you’ll lead the monthly payroll process ensuring accuracy, compliance, and alignment with the company’s reward structures.

This is a highly visible position that will see you working closely with senior leadership, internal teams, and external advisors, translating financial data into actionable insights. You’ll take the lead on weekly and monthly reporting of revenue and other key business metrics, helping the leadership team track performance against ambitious targets. The role will also give you scope to drive process improvements, harnessing automation and AI to make reporting more efficient and insightful. For a commercially-minded finance professional, this is an opportunity to step into a role that sits at the heart of a thriving business, with direct exposure to decision-making at board level and the chance to shape how financial insights are used to accelerate growth.

Responsibilities

• Lead and own the day-to-day running of the FP&A function, acting as the go-to expert for all forward-looking financial planning and analysis.
• Design, build, and refine complex multi-currency, three-statement financial models to forecast performance and guide strategic investment decisions.

• Proactively identify and implement process improvements, streamlining workflows and boosting efficiency across FP&A and payroll activities.
• Leverage automation and AI tools to transform reporting capabilities, reducing manual input and increasing analytical value.
• Act as a key business partner to sales, marketing, and operations teams, ensuring financial performance is fully aligned with commercial objectives.
• Champion a culture of financial awareness across the business, helping non-finance colleagues understand how their actions impact performance.
