Candidates should have subsequent time in industry, financial or professional services preferred, but not essential.

Ideally this experience will be aligned to a more technical / statutory accounting context where group entity annual reporting has been a central theme.

Personal characteristics are crucial to success in this role, candidates should bring an energy and enthusiasm to driving transformation and evolving a best-in-class service to the wider business.
