  • Implementing scalable systems, reporting frameworks and financial controls to support future growth.

You will also possess:

  • Strong commercial acumen and analytical capabilities.
  • Experience leading and developing finance teams.
  • A proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proven experience improving finance processes, controls and reporting frameworks.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • High attention to detail and the ability to influence decision-making through financial insight.
