This is a wonderful opportunity for someone ambitious for their future bringing your senior finance leadership experience in a large and complex organisation to bear. They will be joining a well-established, inclusive team, built on a culture of continuous improvement. Because of that, experience in delivering high-quality financial processes and reporting is essential as well as managing finance projects and change programmes. An adept communicator, externally and internally, you will understand how to get the best from others, demonstrated by your own values and behaviours.
