• Ensure strong financial governance and compliance with relevant financial regulations and audit requirements
• Drive value-for-money initiatives through benchmarking, spend analysis, and continuous improvement activity
• Support the implementation of consistent finance processes and shared service improvements
• Line manage and mentor a Finance Officer, supporting their ongoing development

• Previous experience in a Finance Manager, Regional Finance Manager, Finance Business Partner, or Senior Management Accountant role
• Strong experience producing management accounts, budgets, and forecasts
• Excellent analytical and commercial finance skills
• Confidence partnering with senior stakeholders and influencing decision-making
