• FP&A Oversight: Own budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. Deliver sharp commercial insight and KPI tracking to support executive decision-making. Lead scenario modelling to assess strategic opportunities and risks
• Treasury Leadership: Oversee global treasury operations: FX, liquidity, and debt facility management. Strengthen lender relationships and optimise cash and working capital. Align treasury strategy with international scale and PE governance

Key Requirements:
