This is a key appointment within a private equity backed business undergoing significant transformation. The role offers the opportunity to build and shape the Group's FP&A capability, influence decision making and contribute directly to the next phase of growth and investment.

A competitive package is offered, commensurate with the scale and responsibility of the role.
