- Driving improvements in financial processes, reporting quality and automation in a high‑volume environment
- Supporting, mentoring and developing a team of analysts, setting high standards for commercial thinking and output
- Playing a key role in negotiations and commercial discussions, ensuring outcomes are financially sound and scalable
- Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with strong post‑qualification experience
- Proven background in a large, multi‑site, customer‑led organisation (retail, hospitality, FMCG, logistics or similar)
- Demonstrated strength in business partnering — confident challenging, influencing and supporting senior leaders
- Experience handling complex commercial negotiations and trade‑offs
- Ability to communicate financial insight clearly to non‑finance audiences
- Comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, high‑expectation corporate environment
