The successful candidate will combine Finance credibility with expertise in learning, capability development and transformation. You will work closely with Finance leaders and subject matter experts to understand how roles are evolving, identify capability gaps and build programmes that equip teams for the future.

- Facilitate workshops, training sessions and leadership discussions where required.
- Coach and support subject matter experts to effectively share knowledge and contribute to capability-building initiatives.
