• Turning data into clear, useful insight that drives action

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified Accountant, ACA, ACCA, or CIMA
• Strong analytical and modelling skills
• Commercial mindset, curious, proactive, and confident
• Experience in retail, consumer, eCommerce, or similar sectors is helpful
