· Drive financial analysis and insights to support strategic decision-making in a dynamic ecommerce environment.

· Coordinate with external auditors, tax advisors, and other professional service providers.

· Support the development of internal finance team capabilities, mentoring junior finance staff as the team grows.

· Contribute to the overall strategic finance agenda during the investment cycle and beyond.

· Monitor and manage working capital, financial risks, and regulatory compliance.

· Facilitate business partnering across departments to ensure finance is integrated with operational objectives.

Skills
:

· Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).

· Proven experience as a Financial Controller within demanding and fast-growing businesses.

· Ecommerce or digital sector experience strongly preferred but not essential if evidence of quick learning and adaptability is demonstrated.

· Experience within international or multi-jurisdictional businesses highly desirable.

· Strong technical accounting and tax compliance knowledge.

· Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

· Excellent communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills.

· Ambitious, proactive, and comfortable driving change and transformation.
