Experience Required:
- Previous experience in a Systems Accountant, Finance Transformation, or Finance Change role
- Strong understanding of finance processes and controls
- Experience working with ERP systems
- Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills
- A proactive, resilient approach with the ability to drive change in a complex environment
