• Strong skills in Excel and PowerPoint, version control and governance to coordinate multiple inputs from different stakeholders through iterative reporting and tracking.
• Excellent presentational skills both written and verbal to deliver high quality outputs for senior stakeholders.
• Finance qualification and or previous experience of working within a finance function, with an understanding of key finance processes and structures to effectively navigate across Finance teams.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills including influencing and negotiating, to create and leverage effective networks.
