Working within a high-performing finance function, you will take ownership of the financial control activities for a significant business unit with revenues of approximately £500m. This is a broad and visible role, providing exposure to both divisional leadership and group finance teams, whilst playing a key part in maintaining robust financial controls and supporting ongoing business integration and improvement initiatives.

  • VAT, tax and treasury activities
  • Financial controls, compliance and risk management
  • Stakeholder management across multiple levels of an organisation
  • Leading and developing finance teams

Experience gained within a group structure, shared service environment, infrastructure, technology, engineering or project‑based business would be advantageous but is not essential.
