- Partner closely with the Head of Portfolio Management on budgets, forecasts, and property-level insights.

- Manage relationships with internal/external auditors and maintain property finance policies.

- Collaborate with Shared Services and Commercial Finance on automation, standardisation, and long-term forecasting inputs.

About You

- Experienced property finance leader with strong technical accounting capability.

- At least 5 years’ experience in retail property, with hands‑on ownership of annual budgeting and forecasting cycles.

- Skilled at simplifying complexity, improving processes, and lifting reporting quality.

- Confident owning end‑to‑end property financial results across a portfolio.

- Effective people leader who develops and supports high‑performing teams.

- Strong business partner who collaborates well with senior stakeholders and cross‑functional teams.

- Comfortable presenting insights to executives and contributing to commercial decision making.
