• Serve as a knowledgeable and credible finance partner by staying informed of relevant products, market trends, customer needs and competitive landscape.
• Ensure full compliance with all governance, regulatory and internal requirements, including the accurate and timely completion of all reporting and review activities mandated by regulatory bodies.
• Work collaboratively with the Risk function to ensure the consistent alignment of objectives, adhering fully to the principles of the Enterprise Risk Management framework of the Close Brothers Group.

• Highly self-motivated and exceptionally organised.
• Expertise in negotiation, presentation, and closing deals, employing a consultative sales approach.
• Strong commercial insight and an in-depth understanding of industry trends, business drivers and customer needs.

• Advanced problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate complex financial scenarios.
• A proven track record in business development and strategic planning to drive growth.
• Adaptable to rapidly changing market conditions and customer needs.
• Experience with the Transport sector and relevant equipment / assets.
