They have ambitious growth plans and a strong sustainability message. Based out of smart, corporate offices in Sutton, you will be joining a fast-paced UK finance team. The company are looking for a finance leader of the future: someone who has the potential to grow with the role and work closely with the Financial Controller.

Your new role

• Adhoc projects

What you'll need to succeed

You will bring excellent IT skills including Microsoft Excel (VLOOKUP, pivot tables), and analytical tools e.g. Power BI. You'll need strong communication skills with financial and non-financial stakeholders, with line management experience beneficial but not essential. You will be adaptable, ambitious, and able to manage multiple deadlines effectively. You will have the right to work in the UK, and have a plan to reliably commute to Sutton.
