• Driving performance improvement initiatives and tracking outcomes.
• Enhancing reporting and management information to support decision-making.
• Leading, coaching, and developing a small finance team.
• Supporting ongoing transformation and process improvement programmes.
• Presenting financial insights and recommendations to senior leadership.

What We're Looking For

You'll be a qualified finance professional with a strong commercial mindset and a genuine passion for partnering with the business.

You enjoy influencing stakeholders, challenging constructively, and turning financial information into clear actions that drive performance.

Most importantly, you'll be someone who can build credibility quickly and work collaboratively to deliver results.

• Proven ability to influence and challenge senior stakeholders.
• Experience leading budgeting, forecasting, and planning processes.
• Strong financial modelling and business case development skills.
• Previous people management experience.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.

Why Apply?
