Partner with finance and operational stakeholders across the group

Strong technical depth in consolidations, statutory reporting and accounting standards
Solid working knowledge of tax effect accounting and deferred tax

Direct exposure to the CFO and executive team
The chance to shape a modernising finance function through systems, AI and automation
