As FP&A Manager for Technology, you will be the lead Finance Business Partner for our Technology function, working closely with senior Technology leaders and Procurement to drive strong financial performance, strengthen cost control and ensure we are getting the best possible return from our technology investment.
You will own the financial planning, forecasting and reporting for Technology, while proactively identifying and driving savings and efficiency opportunities across the cost base. This is not simply a reporting role. You will use insight, challenge and strong commercial judgement to influence decisions, improve investment choices and ensure opportunities are identified, understood and delivered.
The Details
Act as the lead Finance Business Partner for Technology, building strong relationships with senior stakeholders and providing clear, commercially focused financial advice.
Own the Technology budget, forecast and longer-term financial plan, ensuring assumptions are robust, risks and opportunities are understood, and stakeholders are held accountable for delivery.
Partner closely with Procurement to identify and assess all savings opportunities across technology spend, including contract renewals, vendor consolidation, demand management, licence optimisation, new spend and cost avoidance.
Maintain a clear, complete view of savings and efficiency initiatives, ensuring opportunities are quantified, tracked against budget and forecast, and followed through to delivery.
Challenge new investment and resourcing proposals, ensuring costs, benefits, trade-offs and expected returns are clearly understood before decisions are made.
Lead clear and insightful reporting of Technology performance, including actuals, forecast, budget, risks and opportunities, savings, new spend and actions required to address gaps.
Provide a portfolio view of major Technology investments and Procurement programmes, covering approved spend, actual spend, forecast, expected benefits, delivery status and financial risks.
Own and continuously improve the financial control environment for Technology expenditure, including the appropriate treatment of operating and capital expenditure.
Translate complex financial information into concise, decision-focused insight for Technology leaders, Finance leadership and executive forums.
Improve the quality, accessibility and efficiency of reporting, using Power BI, planning tools and automation to reduce manual activity and enable greater self-service.
Lead, coach and develop colleagues supporting the Technology cost base, setting clear standards for ownership, accuracy, stakeholder management and proactive problem-solving.
Support our culture by championing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategies.
We believe being together in person helps us move faster, connect more deeply, and achieve more as a team. That’s why our approach to working together includes spending at least 3 days a week in the office. It’s a rhythm that speeds up decision-making, helps ASOSers learn from each other more quickly, and builds the kind of culture where people can grow, create, and succeed.

Operations @ ASOS
Every single day I feel both supported and inspired! The constant flow of creativity within ASOS is contagious. It's cool to be encouraged to think outside the box.
I was initially drawn to ASOS as it is a reputable company with a culture that is unmatched. After joining ASOS I soon realised that just like the name, it was most definitely ‘As Seen On Screen’ – what you see is truly what you get. There are endless opportunities within the company with values embodying a culture of bringing your best self to work. I never feel as though I need to change to fit the status quo of the ‘corporate lifestyle’ but actually, I fit in more when I’m authentically being myself.
At ASOS I can bring my authentic self to work, you’re empowered to think different, innovate and do the things you love. ASOS is a fast paced, changing environment with fun at the heart of everything we do.

We are Customer First
We couldn’t be ASOS without our customers.
Across every behaviour, value, and all that we do, we see everything through our customers’ eyes. That means never taking anything for granted and always zeroing in on every single detail. So we can always bring our best as a team, and our customers can have an amazing experience, every time.
We are Authentic
We work together to be honest, transparent, and our full authentic selves.
This is our ASOS. Our culture, built on collaboration and togetherness, and supported by what’s real and honest. We know that we win bigger when we win as a diverse team. That means celebrating our differences and using them to help us stand out from the crowd, without losing our authenticity and individuality.
We are Brave
We challenge each other to aim high and reach our potential.
Doing nothing gets us nowhere. We may be proud of everything we’ve done so far, but there’s still so much more to explore. We believe we can always be wiser, faster, stronger, bigger, braver, kinder…so asking ‘why’ isn’t just a question, it’s a necessity. We use our voice to drive us forward, speaking up on the things our people and customers care about and using our curiosity to create possibility.
We are Creative
We know innovation leads to inspiration – it’s what makes us stronger
Change is in our DNA. By acting fast and staying one step ahead of the curve, we can be a leader, not a follower. But for our products and platform to be innovative, they have to be fuelled by creative passion and a deep understanding of our customers and our people.
We always Deliver
We couldn’t be excellent without evidence – so whatever we’re doing, we have proof of why we’re doing it.
It takes facts and data to tell our stories and help us make our decisions in the most effective way possible. This means we can do what we say and own what we do, no matter how long it takes us to do it. We aren’t about nonsense ifs, buts and maybes, we’re about creating an ASOS that’s built for future success on delivered success.
Our Benefits
Employee Discount
The most asked-about benefit! As an ASOSer, you’ll receive an exclusive employee discount. You can also nominate a family member or friend to share your discount with.
Pension
Retirement might not be on your mind right now, but it’s important to prep for it. We offer matched contributions up to 5% to help you save.
Private Medical Care scheme
If you join our Private Medical Care scheme, you’ll get fast and effective access to medical cover.
Bonus
What we achieve is always a team effort. That’s why we offer a discretionary bonus scheme which rewards you based on our group financial and strategic performance.
Celebratory Day!
Get an extra day off in addition to the 25 days of annual leave you get! Spend it celebrating the big days in life, whether it’s birthdays, cultural holidays, weddings and anything else.
Shuttlebus Service (if you're based in our Leavesden office)
It’s more of a work perk, but we offer a free shuttlebus between Watford station and our office in Leavesden.
Sample Sales
We’ve always got fun things happening in our offices, but the one ASOSers get most excited about is our sample sales. Plus, all proceeds from the sample sale get donated to the ASOS Foundation, which helps our charity partners abroad.
Career Development
You’ll have the opportunity for personalised learning and in-the-moment experiences to create a dynamic and agile learning environment that empowers you to thrive and excel in your role.
Summer Hours
We finish at 3pm on Fridays in June, July and August!! This perk doesn’t mean a dip in your salary – it just gives you extra freedom to enjoy those summer weekends however you want.
Location
Our HQ in London
Our HQ in Camden was once a cigarette factory – now, the iconic Art Deco building has been completely renovated with spacious office areas, ASOS Studios (where we shoot all our products), beauty rooms and a free gym. There’s also a subsidised canteen and café.
