Senior Manager - Business Finance
We don’t think about job roles in a traditional way. We are anti-silo. Anti-career stagnation. Anti-conventional.
Beyond ONE is a digital services provider radically reshaping the personalised digital ecosystems of consumers in high growth markets around the world. We’re building a digital services aggregator platform, with a strong telco foundation, and a profitable growth strategy that empowers users to drive their own experience—subscribe once, source from many, and only pay for what you actually use.
Since being founded in 2021, we’ve acquired Virgin Mobile MEA, Friendi Mobile MEA and Virgin Mobile LATAM (with 6.5 million subscribers) and 1600 dedicated colleagues across Chile, Colombia, KSA, Kuwait, Mexico, Oman, Pakistan and UAE.
To disrupt for good takes a rebellious spirit, a questioning mind and a warm heart. We really care about how to get things done and not who manages who. We benefit from our diversity, and together, we disrupt the way we and others thinking about our lives for good.
Do you want to exchange ideas, learn from each other and leave your mark on our journey? This is the place for you.
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Finance Business Manager to partner closely with our leadership team and serve as the primary finance business partner for the group.
This role sits within Group FP&A and is responsible for owning the full forecasting, budgeting, multi-entity consolidation, management reporting and performance analysis cycle. You will translate commercial and operational performance into clear financial insight, build the models and business cases behind key decisions, and help leaders — up to CEO level — make better and faster calls.
A meaningful share of this role is unscheduled: CEO questions and urgent projects can land mid-close, alongside a reporting and budget calendar that is fixed externally. You'll need to reprioritise quickly, scope an open-ended request into a usable answer, and still deliver on the scheduled calendar.
What You Will Do
Own the end-to-end forecasting cycle, including weekly forecasts, monthly outlooks and formal forecast submissions (3+9, 6+6 and 10+2)
Lead the annual budgeting process across all functions, ensuring alignment with business priorities and Group objectives
Build driver-based financial models from a blank sheet — not only maintain existing files — including scenario and sensitivity analysis
Construct investment appraisals (DCF, NPV, IRR, payback) and business cases from commercial assumptions to support strategic initiatives
Own multi-entity consolidation, including intercompany eliminations and FX translation, and discuss accrual, capex/opex and revenue recognition treatments with the accounting team
Deliver board-standard management reporting — monthly business reviews, executive presentations and performance commentary that convert a consolidation into commentary an executive audience can act on
Walk a P&L from budget to actual through variance and bridge analysis, attributing movements to identifiable drivers
Partner with commercial, marketing, sales, technology and operational teams to understand business drivers, challenge assumptions, and obtain information from teams that don't report into finance — following up consistently until items are closed
Own cost centre budgets and budget-to-actual control, including commitment and accrual discipline (POs, committed spend tracking) and a spend threshold / delegation of authority framework
Own cash flow forecasting and short-term liquidity visibility
Drive monthly closing reviews, ensuring actual performance is reconciled and clearly communicated to leadership
Champion data accuracy and reporting integrity across ERP, BI and financial reporting platforms
Act as a trusted advisor to the leadership team — and, critically, connect immediate requests back to the Group's longer-term plan, surfacing the trade-off when the two pull in different directions
Share models, assumptions and context with the wider team as a matter of routine, and involve colleagues in your own work rather than concentrating it
What You Will Need
Experience & Qualification
8–12 years of finance experience, including at least 5 years in FP&A, one full budget cycle owned end-to-end, and exposure to board or C-level audiences. We will consider 5 years total where that experience is group-level, multi-entity FP&A.
Professional qualification required: ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CPA or equivalent. CFA or MBA is an advantage.
Technical Skills
Driver-based financial modelling from scratch, scenario and sensitivity analysis
Investment appraisal: DCF, NPV, IRR, payback, and business case construction from commercial assumptions
Variance and bridge analysis
Advanced Excel, including large data sets and Power Query, working with imperfect source data
Multi-entity consolidation, including intercompany eliminations and FX translation
Working knowledge of IFRS
Board-standard management reporting
Cost centre budget ownership, commitment/accrual discipline, and delegation of authority frameworks
Cash flow forecasting and short-term liquidity visibility
ERP exposure required — SAP, Oracle, NetSuite or Dynamics (any one)
A planning/EPM tool preferred — Anaplan, Oracle EPM/Hyperion, Adaptive, Board or SAP
BI tooling preferred — Power BI or Tableau
Behavioral Skills
Financial acumen — understands the mechanics behind the numbers, judges which ones matter, and recognises when a result looks implausible before it's published
Attention to detail — checks work systematically and traces figures back to source
Communication — explains complex financial positions to non-finance audiences in plain terms, and holds a position under challenge while revising it when the counter-argument is sound
Organisational awareness — works effectively in a matrixed, multi-entity organisation with competing priorities and informal lines of influence
Collaboration — shares models, assumptions and context with the wider team as routine practice, and involves colleagues in their own work rather than concentrating it
Growth mindset — takes on unfamiliar areas without needing full guidance, seeks input, and acts on feedback
Responsiveness to unplanned work — reprioritises quickly for CEO or urgent asks mid-close while keeping scheduled deliverables on track
Influence without authority — obtains information from teams outside finance and follows up consistently until items are closed, in a way that keeps the relationship productive
Strategic orientation — reads immediate requests against the Group's longer-term plan and surfaces the trade-off when they diverge
Non-Negotiables
Clear written and verbal English, at a standard suitable for board and SLT materials
Manages own timeline against a fixed external reporting/budget calendar, and raises slippage risk early
Work is checked and reconciled before it is issued
Hands-on — this role has limited support beneath it; you build the analysis yourself
Discretion — this role has visibility of confidential cash, compensation and transaction information
Industry & Background
Telco is the ideal background but not a must-have — it brings familiarity with subscriber/ARPU economics and multi-market operations
Also relevant: connectivity businesses, digital and technology companies, group HQ FP&A roles in any multi-entity sector, and Big 4-trained candidates who moved into industry FP&A
Genuine group, multi-entity experience is not flexible. A career built within a single legal entity in a single market will find the consolidation and OPCO-facing work a significant step up
Emerging markets exposure is valuable given our footprint, which includes Pakistan; UAE experience is helpful but not required
Controllership or accounting backgrounds without forward-looking planning work are less suitable for this role
What we offer:
Rapid learning opportunities - we enable learning through flexible career paths, exposure to challenging & meaningful work that will help build and strengthen your expertise.
Healthcare and other local benefits offered in market.
