• Fully qualified accountant (preferred) or significant experience in high-level financial support roles.
• Demonstrable leadership experience in a Finance Business Partnering function.
• Ability to evidence achievements in improving financial performance through proactive business partnering – CVs ought to demonstrate facts and figures citing improvements made.
