You will be expected to leverage a strong "risk and controls" mindset to ensure the integrity of our financial workflows and be able to work to deadlines for the successful execution of critical project milestones.

• Previous experience with Workday ERP is highly desirable.
• Proven experience in identifying financial risks and implementing or testing internal controls within a complex corporate environment.
• Experience in finance projects, ability to operate in "grey spaces," demonstrating dynamic problem-solving and transparent communication when managing conflicting deadlines.
• A team player who can work independently or collaboratively to build strong relationships across the department, including with offshore teams.
• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail and the initiative to manage your own time effectively at a fast pace across multiple high-priority tasks.

• Health: Access premium care through our private medical insurance.
• Family Support: We champion your milestones with enhanced parental leave. A full list of our benefits is available here.
