• Lead the half-year and full-year audit processes for these functional areas.
• Play a key role in Project Horizon by supporting design, testing, and transition activities—ensuring finance requirements are embedded and business readiness is achieved.
• Provide commercial support and analysis for strategic initiatives and macro business decisions.
• Develop and mentor a team of five, fostering a culture of accountability, growth, and continuous improvement.
• Work closely with merchandise, marketing and shared services to ensure seamless execution and minimise errors
  
  

You're Likely a Match If

• You're confident in managing large data sets and have strong technical skills in Excel, TM1, Power BI, or Microsoft D365 (experience with Power Query and PowerPivot a plus).
• You're a proactive leader with a track record of developing teams and working cross-functionally to solve complex business problems.
• You're known for your ability to simplify complexity, communicate with impact, and work well with senior stakeholders across finance and non-finance functions.
