About the role

Our finance team needs reliable support to keep billing, supplier data, and financial records accurate and up to date.

The responsibility of the role is to ensure that invoices, payments, and administrative finance tasks are handled properly and consistently — so nothing gets missed, data stays clean, and managers always have a clear and reliable view of what has been billed, received, and paid.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role, doing the fundamentals exceptionally well, every day.

The role involves a significant amount of process-driven and repetitive work, and is best suited to someone who takes pride in accuracy, consistency, and getting the details right every time.
