• Supporting monthly forecasting and annual budgeting.
• Analyzing and interpreting data into a reader-friendly format for sharing with others.
• Developing relationships with the Operations team to become a point of contact for financial queries and providing daily support.
• Presenting and communicating financial information to Operations and other stakeholders as the role develops.

We are looking for:

• Newly CIMA Qualified or in the latter stages of Part Qualification (Level 3 - Strategic Level).
• The ability to meet tight deadlines weekly and monthly.
• Excellent communication, analytical, and presentation skills.
• Strong IT skills, particularly in Excel and Microsoft packages; experience with SAP is beneficial but training will be provided.
• A full UK driving license is desirable as travel to meetings and pubs will be required.

What you get from us:

• Apprenticeship programmes offering training and development at any career stage.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave (subject to 26 weeks' service and 15 weeks prior to EWC).
• 30% off in Marston's pubs and 20% off accommodation with our privilege card.
• Marston's Cheers Platform with discounts on high street and online retailers.
• Share save incentive scheme.
• Employee assistance programme, including wellbeing support, confidential helpline, counseling, and online services.
