Job description

About the Team and Role

At Castrol, we bring together people, energy and markets to help power and navigate a changing world. As our business continues to evolve, we are looking for talented people who can combine deep expertise with commercial thinking, turning insight into action and helping us identify opportunities for sustainable, long-term growth. We are looking for a highly analytical and commercially astute FP&A Advisor, Board to play a key role in how Castrol’s financial and operational performance is understood at the highest levels of the organisation.

Joining a global business delivering approximately $1.2bn EBITDA, you will work closely with senior and executive stakeholders, providing the insight and financial perspective needed to support strategic decision-making and long-term value creation in line with Castrol’s “Onward, Upward, Forward” strategy. This is a high-visibility senior individual contributor role where you will go beyond reporting the numbers. You will interpret complex financial and operational information, identify the story behind performance and translate it into clear, compelling and decision-ready narratives for Board-level audiences. For someone who combines strong FP&A expertise with commercial curiosity, confident communication and the ability to influence senior stakeholders, this is an opportunity to have genuine visibility and impact across a complex, global organisation.

Key tasks

  • Lead the development and delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual Board reporting, bringing together financial and operational performance into clear, concise and impactful materials.
  • Turn complex datasets and financial information into meaningful insights, identifying performance trends, emerging risks and commercial opportunities.
  • Monitor key performance indicators and provide clear explanations of performance and variances against budgets, forecasts and strategic expectations.
  • Provide forward-looking analysis and performance outlooks, helping senior leaders understand potential implications and make informed decisions.
  • Build a strong understanding of the underlying drivers of performance by partnering with business divisions and functional teams across the organisation.
  • Work closely with the central PPM team to ensure alignment around financial delivery, performance analysis and messaging.
  • Develop clear, compelling narratives that help the Board understand both the financial health of the business and progress against strategic priorities.
  • Bring constructive challenge and commercial judgement to discussions, ensuring financial insight supports both strong governance and effective business decision-making.

Experience required

  • Significant experience within FP&A, commercial finance, financial planning or performance management, with strong expertise across budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning.
  • A strong track record in financial analysis, forecasting and senior-level performance reporting, ideally within a large, complex or global organisation.
  • Proven ability to work effectively with senior executives and Board-level stakeholders, communicating complex issues with clarity and confidence.
  • Strong analytical capability, including the ability to work with large and complex datasets and translate them into concise, actionable commercial insights.
  • Excellent communication, presentation and storytelling skills, with the ability to adapt financial messaging for different senior audiences.
  • Strong commercial judgement, with the ability to balance financial discipline, constructive challenge and the wider needs of the business.
  • Advanced Excel capability, with experience using analytical and visualisation tools such as Power BI.
  • Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to work across global and cross-functional teams.
  • Comfortable operating independently, navigating ambiguity and managing competing priorities within a fast-paced and evolving environment.
  • A bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business or a related discipline. A professional accounting qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent would be advantageous but is not crucial.
  • Experience of Board or corporate-level reporting and strong commercial awareness gained within a complex organisation would be particularly valuable.
  • We are open on candidate sector background, but would be keen to see applicants from an FMCG / Manufacturing background.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
