About the Role
Join BBC Commercial Group Finance as a Finance Analyst – Management Reporting & Consolidation, a role that combines financial reporting expertise with finance systems ownership. This is not a traditional reporting role nor purely a finance systems role. You will bridge both disciplines, translating financial reporting requirements into robust system processes and ensuring the integrity of our consolidation and reporting environment. You will play a key role in delivering consolidated management reporting to senior stakeholders while acting as a key finance contact for SAP BPC and related reporting systems. Working closely with Finance, Technology and external partners, you will help ensure reporting is accurate, efficient and supported by strong controls and governance.

You will join a collaborative and highly visible finance function at the centre of BBC Commercial Group's reporting and planning processes. This role offers a unique opportunity to combine technical finance expertise with hands-on systems responsibility. You will help shape how financial information is consolidated, reported and delivered to senior leadership, while driving system improvements, automation and process optimisation across a complex commercial organisation. If you enjoy solving problems, working across teams and combining finance knowledge with systems capability, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact.
