• Analyse financial and procurement data to support decision-making and process improvements

Executive & Business Support

• Manage shared inboxes and coordinate documentation across teams

• Maintain organised and accessible SharePoint structures

• Provide diary and inbox support to senior stakeholders as required

• Act as a key point of coordination between finance and wider business teams

• Communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders

• Handle confidential information with discretion in a fast-moving environment

What We're Looking For

• Strong hands-on experience in transactional finance (AP/AR, reconciliations, controls)

• Confident using finance systems such as D365 (or similar ERP systems)

• Highly organised, detail-driven, and able to manage competing priorities

• Comfortable working at pace while maintaining accuracy

• Confident communicator with the ability to work across teams

• Professional, adaptable, and solutions-focused
