What We’re Looking For…
- A hands-on and accountable finance professional — someone who takes ownership of their areas, works with accuracy and pace, and delivers to a high standard without needing close oversight.
- A process improvement driver — someone who is naturally critical of inefficiency, actively seeks out bottlenecks and manual pain points, and has the energy and initiative to design and execute a structured improvement roadmap.
- Technically forward-thinking — someone with genuine enthusiasm for AI tools and automation, comfortable championing new technologies and guiding colleagues through the change that comes with adopting them.
- A technically strong finance professional — qualified or part qualified Accountant, with experience across a broad range of financial operations.
- A credible and collaborative stakeholder — someone confident enough to business partner with budget holders across the central functions, contribute at management team level, and engage with the wider finance team on monthly reporting and ad hoc initiatives, without losing sight of the day-to-day operational detail.
