    • Work closely with offshore team members, providing guidance, quality assurance and continuous support
    • Identify opportunities to improve finance processes, automate repetitive tasks and leverage AI and emerging technologies to enhance efficiency
    • Build strong relationships across the business while developing broader commercial finance capability

    • Strong technical accounting knowledge across financial reporting, reconciliations and compliance

    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
    • Excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships across the business
    • A genuine interest in process improvement, automation and AI
    • A proactive mindset and desire to continue learning and developing
    Why Apply?
    • Join a business experiencing significant growth both domestically and internationally
    • Learn from experienced finance leaders committed to mentoring and development
    • Gain exposure beyond traditional financial accounting into systems, process improvement and commercial finance
    • Be part of a collaborative, high-performing finance team where your contribution is recognised
    • Genuine long-term career progression as the business continues to grow
