Confidence communicating with stakeholders across all levels of the business, including international colleagues. We're looking for someone who enjoys partnering with operational leaders, providing commercial insight and influencing business performance.

The Package £70,000 to £75,000 basic salary 10-15% annual bonus Company car Private family healthcare Pension Life assurance Hybrid working Why Apply? This is an opportunity to become a genuine business partner to the Managing Director rather than simply producing financial reports.
