This role is reporting to the Manager Group Financial Control.

- You will be a qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA, CPA, CIMA)
- You will have strong analytical and technical acumen
- You will have experience in creating consolidated IFRS financial statements for presentation

- You will have the ability to manage and balance multiple deliverables to strict reporting deadlines
