Finance Analyst – Financial Planning and Performance

Location: London (2 days a week in our Soho offices)

Reporting to: Director of Investor Relations and Financial Planning & Performance

As the UK’s favourite property platform, Rightmove aims to give everyone the belief that they can make their move. To help us achieve this, we’re looking for a Finance Analyst to join our team

Financial Planning and Performance (FPP) is a newly formed team at the centre of Rightmove's Commercial Finance function. This isn't a traditional Finance Analyst position. You'll gain exposure to commercial finance, financial planning, investor relations and AI transformation, while working closely with senior stakeholders across the business. Whether you're looking to deepen your finance expertise or broaden your understanding of how a successful FTSE-listed business operates, this role offers a unique platform for growth and development.

Commercial finance: 

• Work closely with the Finance Business Partnering Manager and Financial Operations Manager to prepare reporting and analysis, support business planning and forecasting activities, and develop commercial, stakeholder management and business partnering skills 
• Maintain financial reporting models that track project costs, ensuring information is accurate, complete and up to date 
• Analyse and consolidate data from across the business to generate meaningful insights that support decision-making and financial performance discussions

AI and automation:

• Act as a champion for AI adoption within Finance, helping colleagues experiment with new technologies and ways of working.

Investor relations:

• Join and contribute to investor meetings (virtual and in person)
