Description
We are seeking a strategic and analytical Finance Manager to join a high performing finance team. In this role, you will act as a key financial advisor to logistics and supply chain operations.

- Carrier & Vendor Financial Management: Partner with procurement to review logistics contracts, analyse vendor pricing structures, and assess the financial impact of carrier rate changes or service level agreements.
- Month-End Close Support: Collaborate with the accounting team during the month-end close to ensure accurate accruals, journal entries, and P&L reviews for logistics operations.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with supply chain managers, warehouse supervisors, and procurement teams to foster a culture of financial accountability and continuous improvement.
