  • Business partnering with senior leaders across multiple functions, providing challenge, support, and commercial insight to improve profitability and performance
  • Supporting strategic projects through financial modelling, investment appraisals, business cases, and scenario analysis
  • Monitoring financial performance against budget and forecast, delivering robust variance analysis with clear recommendations
