Position Summary

Join Thermo Fisher Scientific as a Senior FP&A Financial Analyst and play a key role in driving financial insight and business performance across our Emerging Markets Commercial team.

In this high-impact role, you will partner closely with senior leaders to deliver meaningful financial analysis, shape forecasts, and support strategic decision-making. Reporting to the Senior FP&A Manager (CSD), you’ll operate within a fast-paced, highly matrixed environment where your ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights will be critical.

At Thermo Fisher Scientific, our mission is clear: enabling our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. Your work will directly support this mission by helping the business make smarter, data-driven decisions.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead forecasting, planning, and performance analysis processes, partnering with senior commercial stakeholders
  • Translate complex financial data into clear insights and recommendations for leadership
  • Own and deliver standard and ad-hoc reporting, including revenue forecasts and business performance dashboards
  • Drive automation and continuous innovation, leveraging AI-enabled tools and advanced analytics to improve reporting efficiency and enhance insight generation
  • Identify opportunities for cost optimization and business growth through data-driven analysis
  • Act as a trusted business partner, supporting cross-functional teams with financial expertise
  • Operate with agility, providing calm, structured guidance in a dynamic environment

Who We’re Looking For

  • Advanced Excel skills (essential); experience with Power BI, Cognos, or SQL is a strong advantage
  • Solid grounding in FP&A fundamentals: forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, and root cause analysis
  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to connect financials to business outcomes
  • A proactive, analytical thinker who enjoys solving complex problems
  • Proven ability to influence stakeholders and communicate effectively across all levels
  • Highly organized, able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Collaborative team player with a strong alignment to Thermo Fisher values
  • Degree in Finance, Business, Economics, Statistics, or similar, or equivalent experience (3+ years) in FP&A or a commercial finance role
  • Willingness to work from one of our office locations

What We Offer

  • High visibility role with regular exposure to senior leadership
  • Strong career development and progression opportunities within a global organization
  • Competitive salary, annual bonus, and comprehensive benefits package
  • Inclusive, collaborative, and mission-driven culture
  • Access to wellbeing initiatives, including onsite gym facilities
  • Active employee networks, community groups, and regular onsite events

Why Join Us?

This is more than a finance role — it’s an opportunity to shape business decisions at scale, develop your career in a global FTSE 100 company, and contribute to work that truly makes a difference.
