- Experience leading or managing an audit process
- Experience managing, developing and coaching a finance team
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to financial accuracy
- Confidence working with senior stakeholders and across different areas of the business
- A proactive approach to process improvement, systems and reporting
- Most importantly, we’re looking for someone with energy and initiative – someone who sees a problem and looks for a solution, challenges processes constructively and enjoys making things better
What’s on offer?
- Annual bonus and additional profit share bonus
- Pension matched up to 10%
- 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays (Additional days for the Christmas shutdown)
- Private medical insurance
- Income protection
- Life assurance
- Personal accident cover
