• Identify and implement system and process improvements - reducing manual work, and improving data quality that flows into reporting and planning
• Use AI tools to improve the speed, quality and scalability of Finance work - automating repetitive reconciliation and data-preparation tasks, drafting commentary and documentation, integrating large data sets, and helping define where AI can safely remove manual effort while keeping appropriate human judgement and controls in place

About You:

You demonstrate an exceptional eye for detail and support the business to the highest standards of excellence. You are comfortable owning a process end to end and being accountable for its accuracy.

Operating in a fast-paced environment, you quickly adapt, manage competing priorities, and consistently meet deadlines. Your communication and commercial skills, combined with a problem-solving attitude, mean you approach tasks with a constant focus on continuous improvement rather than simply repeating what was done last month.

You are genuinely curious about AI and already reach for it in your day-to-day work. You are the kind of person who, faced with a tedious manual task, asks whether a tool can do it better - and then goes and tries. Equally, you know when to be sceptical: you check outputs, understand the limits, and never let speed compromise accuracy.
