Job Description

Reporting to the Commercial Finance Manager, you'll act as the primary finance partner for the Autobarn business.

You'll work closely with operational leaders to understand performance drivers, identify risks and opportunities, challenge assumptions and provide insights that influence business decisions.

About You

You'll bring:

  • 3+ years' experience in commercial finance, financial analysis, management reporting or business partnering
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capability
  • Experience supporting budgeting, forecasting and performance reporting
  • The ability to translate data into meaningful commercial insights and recommendations
