What you’ll need to bring:
Experience in a similar leadership role, ideally within a large international business

Strong communication and people management chops. You can lead, coach, and develop a team with confidence
Proven experience working with ERP systems, ideally MS Dynamics
High-level Excel and data manipulation skills. You’ll be turning raw data into clean reporting
A track record of improving processes, streamlining systems, and raising standards
Hands-on mindset. You’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get things done
What else you should know:
You’ll report to the Financial Controller and work cross-functionally across the business
There’s opportunity here to genuinely impact the way the business runs its international finance operations
You’ll be part of a company that values continuous improvement, quality, and getting things right the first time
This role does include light physical requirements such as sitting and standing for long periods, occasional bending and lifting (standard office-based duties.
