• Creating, documenting and embedding accounting policies

• Acting as a bridge between BAU finance and wider transformation initiatives

• Senior stakeholder exposure and real influence
• Hybrid working (4 days onsite, flexibility for the right person)
• A genuine opportunity to leave the finance function in a stronger place

If you’re an experienced finance professional who enjoys bringing structure, clarity and control, this could be a great fit.
