  • A central point of contact for internal customers and stakeholders for finance-related queries.
  • Ad-hoc analysis/guidance/investigation to improve performance to drive performance.
  • Work closely with non-finance teams to drive compliance and improvement.
  • Provide insight and reporting based on contractual requirements and specifications.
  • Support the Head of Finance in tasks concerning the wider Corporate Finance team, including ongoing process improvement, compliance, audit, and projects.

We are looking for someone who will drive performance through insight and has a high level of commercial awareness and financial analysis and modeling experience. Strong Excel skills, including experience in financial analysis and modeling, are essential, and SAP experience is highly desirable.

A great opportunity for someone who enjoys working within a commercial setting and is looking to broaden their finance business partnering skills. You will be self-motivated and driven to deliver results and positively influence key stakeholders.

  • A competitive salary.
  • Company car allowance of £5,500.
  • Pension scheme.
  • Single private medical healthcare cover.
  • Generous holiday allowance of 25 days, with option to purchase additional holidays + bank holidays.
