Finance Transformation Manager - Temp to Perm

Location: Fleet

Hours: Mon-Fri

Pay Rate: £45-80k (equivalent temp rate) DOE

Our friendly client based in Fleet are looking for a highly capable and forward-thinking individual to work closely with their Finance Director to modernise the finance function and turn data into clear, meaningful business insight. This is not necessarily a traditional finance role. Instead, they are looking for someone with strong analytical, technological and communication skills who can help translate financial and operational data into visual, actionable reporting for management, while also using modern AI and automation tools to improve, streamline and upgrade legacy finance processes.

This role will play an important part in helping the business better understand financial performance, trends, risks and opportunities through clearer reporting, stronger analytics, and smarter use of technology. The successful candidate will act as a bridge between finance, data, systems and leadership — helping a highly capable Finance Director increase the pace, quality and impact of the function.

Key Responsibilities

Finance insight and reporting

  • Turn financial and operational data into meaningful insight that supports better management decision-making.
  • Build clear, visually strong reporting packs, dashboards and presentations that explain what is happening in the numbers and why.
  • Support the development of regular weekly and monthly management reporting with a focus on clarity, consistency and actionable commentary.
  • Identify trends, performance gaps, risks and opportunities across financial performance, working capital, forecasting and profitability.
  • Help move reporting from static, manual outputs to dynamic, business-friendly insight.

Data analysis and business support

  • Work with the Finance Director and wider leadership team to analyse financial performance and provide insight on business drivers.
  • Support deeper analysis of revenue, margin, costs, cashflow, forecasting accuracy and operational performance.
  • Combine data from multiple sources to create a clearer view of business performance.
  • Help management understand not just the numbers, but the story behind them.

AI, automation and modernisation

  • Identify opportunities to improve outdated, manual or inefficient finance processes through AI, automation and better use of technology.
  • Support the Finance Director in introducing modern tools and ways of working that improve productivity, speed and insight.
  • Use AI tools to enhance reporting, summarisation, forecasting support, commentary generation, variance analysis and management information.
  • Help evaluate and implement practical automation solutions that reduce manual effort and improve reliability.
  • Act as a champion for smarter, more modern use of technology within finance.

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
