This role offers you a fantastic opportunity to work with a strong executive team and be directly responsible for driving significant change and improvement. Both functions are well-established, although ongoing systems development and company strategy reviews mean that both areas are undergoing change.

Track and reforecast performance across multiple scenarios, to provide input to rolling forecasts. Undertake ad hoc financial reviews, and commercial decision support.
