• Support and mentor the Finance Manager, fostering their professional development

What we’re looking for:

• A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) – though QBE with significant experience will be considered

• Strong track record of managing finance in a collaborative, remote‑working environment
• A hands‑on leader who can balance detail with strategic thinking
