The Person You Are

• Calm under pressure and comfortable juggling priorities.
• Confident communicating financial information to non-finance stakeholders.
• Solution-focused, process-driven, and proactive in suggesting improvements.
• A genuine team player — someone who brings positivity, maturity, and a can-do approach to every conversation.

What You’ll Get

• A collaborative, forward-thinking working environment.
• An opportunity to have real impact and visibility in a high-growth, values-led company.
• The chance to be part of something bigger: community initiatives, charity partnerships, and a team that cares.
• Annual Leave: 28 days holiday allowance +1 day per year of tenure.
