This role suits a commercially minded finance leader who enjoys partnering with operational teams, simplifying complexity, and bringing a modern, analytical edge to a business.

You'll lead a small, growing team, develop dashboards and analytical tools, improve processes, and build a best-in-class modelling environment. Above all, you'll provide the insight that helps leadership make better strategic choices.
