Manager - Model Build and Data Analytics

The Model Build team works directly with clients, both independently and in collaboration with other teams across the firm. The models developed support a wide range of business needs, including M&A transactions, debt refinancing, operational restructuring, and ongoing management forecasting. As a Manager, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality modelling engagements, working closely with senior stakeholders while also supporting and developing junior team members. You will bring strong experience in building operational and financial models, with the ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders across a diverse range of sectors. Our models are bespoke in nature, developed primarily in Excel and tailored to each client's specific requirements. You will work closely with both internal teams and clients to understand key business drivers and translate these into robust, decision-support models. The role will also include opportunities to support Data Visualisation projects, delivering insights for transactions or developing management reporting tools for clients. Training will be provided in Power Query and Power BI, enabling you to design interactive dashboards, automate data transformation, and present complex financial information in a clear, user-friendly format.

• Qualified (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
• Proven experience in a model build-focused role, ideally within advisory, transactions, or consulting
• Advanced Excel and financial modelling skills, with experience building complex, bespoke models
• Knowledge of additional tools (e.g. VBA, Power BI, Power Query, SQL, Python) is advantageous but not essential
• Strong numerical and analytical skills, with the ability to solve complex problems and develop structured modelling solutions
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex modelling concepts to non-technical stakeholders
