      • Strong financial modelling skills
      • Ability to step back from detail to bring a more strategic perspective.
      • Strong influencing skills, ability to build relationships, and an adaptable style to support and challenge. This will often require 'subject matter expertise' status across multiple business units.
      • High degree of personal initiative and curiosity, and ability to work well as part of a team.
      • Ability to adapt rapidly to meet changing priorities/deadlines.
      • Ability to present and communicate finances in a meaningful and insightful manner, using data visualisation techniques when useful. Additional Information
