Financial Planning \& Modelling at Shine

Our Financial Planning \& Modelling team sits at the heart of strategic decision-making. We partner closely with Business Finance, Data Analytics, and Leadership to drive clarity and confidence in our company’s growth trajectory - through data-driven modelling, forecasting, and strategic insight.

As our business expands across new markets and entities, we’re scaling our FP\&A capabilities to match. That’s where you come in.

Your Role as a Senior Financial Analyst

As a Senior Financial Analyst you will:

- Lead and consolidate budgets across all business entities, ensuring financial alignment company-wide - owning complex workstreams independently from start to finish.

• Design and implement rolling forecasts and establish a continuous planning mindset.
• Build and maintain complex financial models that enable scenario, sensitivity, and long-term planning — including auditing and restructuring legacy models to improve scalability.
• Translate financial data into clear, actionable insights to help leaders make the right strategic choices, with a strong command of the bridge between operational KPIs and financial statements (P\&L, BS, CF).
• Collaborate across teams — acting as a strategic link between Finance, Strategy, and Data Analytics.
• Drive efficiency across the team by automating manual reporting tasks and championing AI-powered tools to accelerate delivery and insight.
• Support the implementation of a planning tool as we modernize our forecasting ecosystem.
