Dear new Junior Finance Analyst,

Usually, when we're writing these things, we'd spend a good chunk of time talking about what we want from you. But it's a little different when it comes to graduate roles because it's far more a case of what we want for you. We'll make sure that you look back on your chapter with Buyapowa not just as the time when you learned what it takes to be an incredible Finance Analyst, but the time when you actually became one.

So, welcome to Buyapowa, new Finance Analyst. We can't wait for you to join us.

THIS IS WHAT MAKES BUYAPOWA, BUYAPOWA

Traditional marketing is dead. That's why we're building what comes next—a whole new channel to attract and acquire customers that reflects the way people discover, fall in love, and shop with today's leading brands.

We're thrilled that more and more clients, including Vodafone, Sky, British Gas, Vitality, and many others, are joining Buyapowa on this adventure every day. But—cards on the table—when we started out over 10 years ago, we had no idea we'd become the global leader in what we do. And while we've got huge plans for the years ahead, we're just as excited about the unknown future as we are about our storied past.

We love new people, new ideas, new skills, new angles, new problems, and new solutions. That's why we're not going to say something dumb like: 'The ideal candidate went to this school, worked at that business, and has this personality, that skill set, and these boxes checked on their résumé.' If we knew exactly what we wanted, we wouldn't need you. So come show us what we're missing.

No one's worked at Buyapowa until they work at Buyapowa. So, while we value experience, we know that the greatest experience you can have is the experience you'll gain once you start working with us.

THE ROLE

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Junior Finance Analyst to join our dynamic finance team. The successful candidate will be responsible for all things related to client rewards, the fastest-growing area of our business. This will include forecasting, financial reporting, liaising with external clients, and driving improvements in our currently fragmented process.

This is a fantastic opportunity for your first role in finance. No previous experience is required, but any you do have is welcome! What is required is a clear and logical way of thinking, coupled with a desire to learn and the confidence to take ownership of a key area of our business.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

  • Work with our Client Success colleagues to understand their client programs and campaigns.
  • Produce forecasts and reporting for client rewards.
  • Liaise with external clients to understand future plans and agree on reward levels required.
  • Monitor reward levels and place orders to top up balances.
  • Standardize the current process to drive efficiency, accuracy, and improve external client service.

YOU ARE:

  • A recent graduate with a 2:1 degree or above.
  • Equipped with robust analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Proficient in Excel.
  • Results-oriented and driven.
  • Highly self-motivated and proactive.
  • An excellent verbal and written communicator.
  • Capable of working independently and collaboratively within a team.
  • Available to work immediately—contract term: 3 months with a view to extend.
  • Located in either the Leeds or London office for 2 days per week, with 3 days working from home.
