Working alongside our CFO and Senior Accountant, you'll gain exposure to every part of a growing international business- from inventory and supply chain through to commercial finance, systems, international operations and business projects.
You'll have the opportunity to learn quickly, take ownership early and build a broad commercial skillset that goes well beyond traditional accounting.
