Job Description: Our vision is ‘Tennis Opened Up’, and our mission is to transform communities through tennis, focusing on three areas – making tennis welcoming, enjoyable and inspiring to everyone.

The role of the Finance Department is to ensure the business prioritises its spending on the projects and programmes that deliver the maximum benefit to our customers – whether that is performance programmes for elite players or children playing their first game of mini-tennis.

Your role as Finance Business Partner is about putting finance at the heart of decision making by providing insight to support robust business planning. You will build budgets and forecasts that are accurate, secure buy-in across multiple stakeholder groups, and routinely measure against these forecasts. In doing so, you will develop cost mitigation, income generation or risk management strategies. You will provide the financial planning and analysis to support and influence key decisions, ensuring the cost benefit analysis is produced up front and performing post investment analysis to measure the success of larger investments. You will be a storyteller able to simplify the complex when communicating to senior audiences, helping the relevant audience to understand not just the ‘what’ but also the ‘why’.

The position will have a key role in the continuous development of the Finance function itself, including improvements to relevant files, processes, and systems; in order to improve efficiency and accuracy.

You will be one of two Finance Business partners and report to one of the two Finance Managers within the Commercial Finance team, under the leadership of the Head of Commercial Finance. This role will provide support to the Finance Manager, Head of Commercial Finance, the Finance Director, the Leadership team and will have responsibility for an Executive and their directorate.
