Leading a capable and engaged finance function, you will take full ownership of the UK entity's financial management, control, and reporting.

You will bring depth in financial control and reporting, but also demonstrate the commercial edge required to influence business decisions and partner cross-functionally.

Success in this role will require a blend of strategic acumen, operational understanding, and hands-on leadership. You should be confident engaging at all levels, agile in your thinking, and comfortable working within a fast-paced, performance-led culture.
