You\'ll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future.

• Maintain daily controls for commission payments providing accurate documentation, evidence and commentary for financial controls.
• Regularly review processes and controls, ensuring controls are robust and that documentation reflects current processes.
