The LTA’s 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 Analyst 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 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 maintenance, management and improvements to relevant files, processes, and systems; in order to improve efficiency and accuracy.
The Finance Analyst position is one of five in the Commercial Finance team, alongside four Finance Business Partners, all of which report into the Head of Commercial Finance. This role will provide support to the Finance Business Partners, the wider Finance team, the Head of Commercial Finance, the Leadership team and will have direct responsibility for an Executive and their directorate.
We are open to receive applications from individuals who are Part or newly qualified accountants.
Please note, the application window for this role closes on Sunday 24th November.
Initial interviews will take place from the week commencing Monday 2nd December.
