* Support M&A activity, focusing on post-merger integration and harmonisation of financial reporting.
* Act as a key business partner across departments, including Sales, Operations, and Technology.
* Recruit and develop a high-performing FP&A team.

* Strong commercial acumen, with a track record of delivering insights that drive EBITDA improvement.
* Expertise in building forecasting models and financial frameworks from scratch.
