• Safeguarding the continuity of our ERP, CRM, and other business-critical systems
• Driving digitalisation initiatives and process improvements
• Preparing audits and monitoring compliancePreparing and submitting VAT returns

Who are you?

You enjoy creating structure, improving processes, and working collaboratively.

• A small, close-knit team
• The freedom to improve processes and take initiative
• Plenty of opportunities for professional and personal development
• A competitive salary and excellent benefits that reflect your experience
