· Change Leadership: Drive cultural and behavioural change through inclusive leadership, structured communications, and stakeholder-centric design.

· Capability Building: Foster a culture of continuous improvement, digital fluency, and cross-functional collaboration.

What You Bring

· Transformation Expertise: Experience leading complex finance transformation programmes end to end in large, multi-stakeholder environments.

· Technology Fluency: Familiarity with ERP systems, automation, and workflow tools.

· Delivery Focus: Ability to translate strategic ambition into actionable plans and deliver outcomes in dynamic environments.
