  • Review current procedures and identify opportunities for greater automation and efficiency.
  • Partner with wider finance and operational teams to improve financial workflows and service delivery.
  • Support broader finance projects and system enhancements as the business continues to evolve.

About You

  • Strong understanding of Accounts Payable, Banking and transactional finance operations.
  • Proven experience managing teams of three or more direct reports.
  • Demonstrable track record of delivering process improvements and implementing positive change.
  • Comfortable balancing strategic improvements with hands-on problem solving.
  • Naturally curious, inquisitive and resilient with a proactive approach to overcoming challenges.
  • Self-motivated with the ability to learn independently and take ownership of initiatives.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

What's on Offer

  • Competative temp rate
  • Hybrid working opportunities
  • A visible leadership role with genuine scope to influence change
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment
  • Opportunity to drive meaningful process and system improvements
