  • Support month-end and year-end processes related to project accounting
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of financial systems and reporting tools

What you'll need to succeed
  • Part-qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to influence and engage non-finance colleagues
  • Experience working on large or complex projects, ideally in a matrixed organisation

What you'll get in return
  • Be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team
  • Work on projects that shape the future of our business
