Position Summary

Help shape the financial future of one of the world's most beloved restaurant brands.

At Nando's, Finance is more than reporting numbers – we influence strategy. This is a highly visible role with direct exposure to the CFO, CEO, Executive Leadership team and operational leaders across the business. You'll be a strategic finance business partner responsible for helping improve the company's performance, supporting strategic growth initiatives and influencing decisions.

You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy making the complex simple, solving complex business problems, turning data into decisions, partnering with senior leaders, and using modern technology – including AI – to make Finance stronger.

As Nando's continues to grow in the U.S., this role offers the opportunity to expand your influence, partner with senior leaders across the business, and help shape the future of the Finance organization.

Strategic Finance Analysis

  • Develop dynamic financial models supporting strategic and operational decisions, gaining exposure to the entire business – including pricing strategy, menu innovation, sales, marketing campaigns, technology initiatives, new restaurant development, and capital allocation.
  • Perform scenario modeling and sensitivity analysis to evaluate strategic opportunities, investments, and operational decisions.
  • Influence enterprise-wide initiatives by providing financial insight and recommendations that improve long-term business performance.
  • Exercise independent judgment in developing financial forecasts, planning assumptions, scenario analyses, and recommendations for senior leadership.
