We are thrilled to offer an exciting opportunity for a Repair Operations Finance Business Partner to join our esteemed team. This high-profile role is pivotal in supporting the FMG and FMG RS Managing Director and their team - part of ZIGUP group - by delivering insightful financial advice and analytical decision support.

Additionally, you will provide guidance on maximizing revenue, profit, and ROCE, identify opportunities for significant business performance improvements, and support strategic Executive initiatives with comprehensive analysis and recommendations. Your proactive insights and information will be crucial in advising and supporting the Repair Operations management teams, ensuring timely and accurate decision-making.
