  • Working with finance leads to produce budgets, review performance, and agree savings targets
  • Negotiating clear, robust, and favourable terms in contractual and commercial frameworks - Driving change where needed

What you'll bring to the role

  • Strong relationship building and stakeholder engagement skills
