The Finance and Strategic Sourcing (FSS) Directorate, led by the Chief Financial Officer and their leadership team, is made up of three distinct teams:

• Finance
• Commercial Management
• Procurement

Within the Finance team there are multiple disciplines including the core financial control activities for which this role will be responsible. It is an exciting time to join the Finance function as the CFO is looking to make a significant amount of change and enhancement in each of the areas but also looking for synergies and alignment across the Directorate.
