About The Position

Sitting within the FP&A function, this role will play a critical role across many of our key reporting and insights activities. You will undergo the calculation of commissions and one off incentive payments, provide financial insight across various areas, and support the implementation of company wide dashboards through various tools, predominantly Pigment & Tableau.

You will be providing key commentaries and analysis to support strategic decision-making and assisting the Finance Leadership team to drive profitable growth.
