The Opportunity

Reporting to the Group Finance Business Partner, you'll play an important role in Gallagher's budgeting, forecasting and performance reporting processes, using AI tools, advanced Excel modelling and modern planning systems to transform complex financial and operational data into meaningful commercial insight.

You'll also build strong commercial finance capability while contributing to continuous improvement across our global finance function.

Bringing a strong commercial lens to variance and performance analysis, you'll look beyond the numbers to understand the key drivers behind business results, identify potential issues and translate complex data into clear, actionable insights that support better decision-making.

• Support ad hoc analysis, special projects and process improvement initiatives as they arise
