Senior Financial Analyst (Qatarization)

About the role
As a Senior Financial Analyst, you will be supporting the business to influence performance through financial analysis and insights, budgeting and forecasting, KPI and variance analysis, management reporting, and financial appraisal. A key part of this role is the DSP (Delivering of Sustainable Profitability) programme, where you will identify savings and revenue opportunities, build the case for them, and drive them through to banked benefit. This business partnering role is designed for someone looking to create a positive impact on the financial performance of the organisation.

Job Responsibilities

• Own a defined section of the P&L: analyse actual revenue and cost performance, discover the root causes of variances, and identify corrective actions to improve performance.
• Drive the DSP agenda: identify and appraise cost-saving and revenue initiatives, build the business case, embed the benefit into forecasts, track realisation against targets, and escalate slippage early to deliver committed savings.
• Act as a trusted business partner to QE Commercial, Technical, Flight Operations, and Inflight Services areas, proactively influencing decisions.
• Define and own the KPIs that matter to the business and use them to steer performance.
• Challenge annual budget and forecast submissions against management strategy and targets, testing the assumptions and challenging the targets.
• Protect margins by challenging spending against targets, quantifying gaps, and recommending actions to close them.
• Build and challenge investment appraisals and business cases (NPV, IRR, payback, break-even, and sensitivity) with a keen attention to detail and present clear, defendable recommendations to senior management.
• Review contracts and commercial agreements for financial impact and flag potential risks.
• Prepare monthly and annual performance reporting for the company, including commentary that explains the driving factors behind the results and necessary corrective actions.
• Present financial performance and initiative delivery to senior leadership and support ad hoc analyses that shape divisional decisions.
