About you…

?

?The ideal candidate will have proven experience in a similar commercial or financial role, ideally within a multi-divisional organisation. Strong negotiation skills, a clear understanding of the between cashflow and revenue, and practical ideas for improving both are essential. Up-to-date knowledge of contractual law and commercial practice is desirable, though a willingness to learn is equally valued. If you’re commercially astute, process-driven, and ready to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives working independently, takes ownership of commercial activities, and has the ability to implement and improve processes that drive performance.
