Supporting project and production-based budgeting activities

Supervising, mentoring and supporting two finance team members

Working closely with senior leadership to support strategic decision making

Identifying opportunities for process improvements and efficiencies

Supporting upcoming finance transformation projects, including the implementation of a new ERP system

Discounted parking available nearby

Opportunity to work within a collaborative and purpose-driven environment

Exposure to exciting finance transformation and ERP implementation projects
