In a nutshell
At Virgin Atlantic, we’re seeking a highly capable and trusted professional to support our Chief Financial Officer. In this pivotal role, you’ll provide executive-level coordination and insight, enabling the CFO and Finance Leadership Team to operate with clarity, focus, and efficiency.
You’ll play a key role in managing priorities, preparing for critical engagements, and ensuring seamless day-to-day operations.

About You
You might be exactly who we need if:

* You’re proactive, self-driven and know how to calmly steer through changing priorities
* You’ve got the confidence and presence to influence senior stakeholders—with warmth and clarity
* You juggle multiple priorities with grace, keeping everything (and everyone) moving
* You're fluent in Microsoft Office and digitally savvy, especially with Teams, Excel and PowerPoint
* You’re a connector: building relationships is your superpower, and discretion is your trademark
* Above all, you’re excited to help shape the future of finance at one of the world’s most iconic airlines
