• Strong background in project accounting, commercial finance or FP&A
• Multi-year experience in a multi-discipline, turnkey or full lifecycle project business
• Exposure to project portfolios where individual projects exceeded £10m revenue
• Worked within large, multi-discipline corporate environments, with international operations
• Advanced Excel and financial modelling skills; experience with ERP and reporting tools (Netsuite, Proscope, Power BI)
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills – able to influence non stakeholders
• Able to explain financial concepts clearly and drive accountability for results

Benefits

• Salary band of £55,000 to £60,000
• Competitive benefits package
• Flexible / hybrid working options
• Ongoing training and career development
• Supportive, collaborative team environment
