This is a really interesting opportunity for someone who sits at the intersection of finance, data and transformation , taking ownership of complex costing models and helping improve how cost information is produced, understood and used across the business.

The role will have a particular focus on:

• Challenging existing assumptions, methodologies and ways of working
• Developing complex models to support commercial and strategic decision-making

The ideal candidate will bring:

• Hands-on SQL and Python capability
• Experience working within a Big Four, listed or similarly large and complex environment
