• Working with internal teams and external providers to enhance data automation and reporting tools.
• Identifying key financial trends, KPIs, and performance insights across the business.
• Contributing to organisation-wide projects around revenue growth, participation, and operational efficiency.
• Supporting audits and the statutory accounts process.

• Experience in data analysis and financial reconciliation - someone who loves digging into numbers and trends.
• A high level of attention to detail, problem-solving ability and confidence handling large volumes of data.
• Proficiency in Excel and finance/ERP systems.
• A flexible and proactive approach - a genuine team player with a "can-do" attitude.
• Experience in not-for-profit, sports organisations, or an interest in motorsport would be a bonus!
