  • Partnering closely with Finance leadership to improve visibility, reporting and cashflow forecasting.
  • Leading month-end deliverables for transactional areas and supporting the wider finance team during peak periods.
  • Creating a high-performance culture based on accountability, service, and continuous improvement.

What you'll bring

  • Strong experience leading transactional finance teams across AP, AR, Treasury and Credit.
  • A track record of transforming processes - automation, standardisation, smarter workflows, cleaner controls.
  • The ability to influence, collaborate and challenge constructively across all levels.
  • A confident leadership style: calm, structured, people-focused, and clear on expectations.
  • Strong analytical thinking, commercial awareness and comfort owning KPIs and performance metrics.
  • Experience supporting or leading finance transformation initiatives is a big plus.

Why this role stands out
