• Support strategic initiatives and transformation projects with financial expertise.

How to Succeed:

• At least 5 years of proven experience in Business Control and/or FP&A. (If your background is only in accounting or project control, this role is not a fit.)
• Strong communication and influencing skills — confident with senior stakeholders.
• Able to navigate a large, complex, and often ambiguous global matrix organisation - proactive, resilient, and not thrown off by competing priorities.
• Analytical, hands-on, and comfortable with challenging the status quo.
• Advanced Excel & PowerPoint; Power BI, Hyperion, SmartView are a plus.
