About you

We’re looking for someone with a genuine interest in finance and a desire to grow their career to join our team as a Finance & Procurement Assistant.

Ideally, you will have at least two years of experience in a finance-related role, though we’re also open to candidates with strong transferrable skills and a solid understanding of finance principles. Familiarity with the Procure to Pay process and a strong sense of commercial awareness will be key to succeeding in this role.

Given the importance of this position within our team, we're looking for someone who is highly organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable working under pressure. You should be a team player with a proactive attitude and a willingness to support other areas of the business when needed.

In this role, you’ll work closely with the Finance & Procurement team, gaining hands-on experience in areas such as VAT returns, payroll, and financial year-end processes across multiple countries.

Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel, is essential—knowledge of formulas and functions will be required.

While previous procurement experience is a plus, it is not a requirement for this role.
