• Proven people leadership experience.
• Excellent analytical and financial modelling skills.
• Confident communicator capable of influencing senior stakeholders.
• Forward-looking mindset — comfortable in a planning and insight-focused role.
• ACA qualification desirable; ACCA or CIMA also considered strongly.
• Able to start at short notice and commit to a 6-month FTC.
