Qualifications

Qualified or part-qualified accountant with management accounting / FP&A / business partnering background.
Strong analytical skills (Excel/modelling) and ability to use dashboards/BI to generate insight quickly.
Good business partnering behaviours: curiosity, constructive challenge, and ability to influence without authority.
