Interim Forecasting Lead - South West

We’re looking for a qualified accountant with a strong analytical mindset and a genuine interest in data-driven forecasting — someone who understands how external and internal drivers combine to shape business performance.

Working closely with the Commercial Finance and Data teams, you’ll act as our Subject Matter Expert, leading the creation of a proof of concept predictive forecasting model. The focus will be to identify and quantify data correlations, and turn that insight into a dynamic forecasting tool for key revenue streams.

You’ll bring:

• A professional qualification (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
• Strong experience in financial modelling, regression analysis and data interpretation
• Exposure to predictive or driver-based forecasting in a commercial or corporate setting
• Confidence to shape the approach, test ideas, and build a robust concept from scratch
• Comfort working with both finance and technical data teams

You’ll likely have seen predictive forecasting in practice elsewhere — and be ready to apply that knowledge to help explore what’s possible internally.

This is an opportunity to make a genuine impact: shaping the way the business anticipates performance and links financial planning to economic reality.

This role is offered on a 12-18 month Fixed Term Contract Basis
