About you
You could come from a Finance, Audit, Risk & Assurance, Financial Controls or Finance Transformation background. What matters is your ability to independently assess an existing finance environment, identify the underlying issues and translate your findings into practical action. You will be comfortable challenging constructively, working with stakeholders and balancing strong governance and control with solutions that work in practice. Crucially, you won't simply identify what needs to change – you'll help make the change happen
