In this role, you'll own the full budget cycle, drive sharp plan-vs-actual analysis with budget holders, and maintain the financial control framework that keeps our business running with discipline and clarity. You'll also play a leading role in our ongoing ERP transformation and provide seamless cover for external reporting and audit activities alongside your Finance Manager peer.
This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on structure, sees the story behind the numbers, and isn't afraid to challenge budget holders constructively to drive better business decisions.
