What I'm Looking For

• Strong commercial finance background with a proven track record of driving performance
• Exceptional business partnering and leadership skills
• Comfortable working at pace, solving problems, and influencing change

You will have the chance to join a fast-moving organisation with big ambitions.

If you're ready to step up and make a real impact I want to hear from you.
