You will bring:

  • 7+ years' experience across finance transformation, strategy or corporate finance
  • Proven financial modelling and analytical capability with commercial insight
  • Demonstrated success leading change at Group or divisional level
  • A self-starter mindset with strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
