- Audit leadership, including annual accounts production
- Operational cashflow reporting
- Broad input into a range of cross-functional improvement projects
- Commercial input into a range of matters
The successful candidate need not have experience of all of the above. However what's critical is:

- Strong business communicaiton (verbal and written)
