You’ll also be advising on a number of other financial and commercial support areas they may need. A true Business Partner role, you enjoy servicing a wide range of people across the business and like the prospect of juggling the demands of multiple stakeholders, being solution driven and working to tight deadlines.

Ultimately, this role is about helping the account teams maximise the margins they can get. You’ll be integral to helping the client teams grow their accounts and you take pride on being able to maximise the profitability of each of them.
