You’ll work across our international business on:
- Budgeting & forecasting

We’re looking for someone curious, analytical and commercially minded, with a solid finance background and the confidence to ask: “Why?”
- Location: London
- Industry: International maritime business
- Collaboration: Working closely with Finance, Operations, Commercial and Management
The role
This is a broad and hands-on Finance role where you will help us understand how the business is performing, what is driving the numbers and where we can improve.
You will work across our international organisation and have regular contact with Finance, Operations, Commercial teams and management.
What will you be doing?
- Support the Finance Manager and wider business with:
- Budgeting and rolling forecasts across our international business
- Monthly management reporting and performance analysis
- Analysing actual results against budget, forecast and prior periods
- Understanding the drivers behind revenue, margins, costs and profitability
