About You

You bring practical experience in transactional and operational finance within a multi-site organisation, with a strong hands-on approach rather than reliance on formal qualifications alone.

You communicate with confidence and clarity, build effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders, and can manage competing priorities, while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail. You are a self-driven problem solver with a can-do attitude and strong organisational skills.
