  • Practical understanding of revenue recognition (including ARR)
  • FX and international tax coordination
  • Data and automation project experience
  • Team development/coaching in lean structures
  • Experience in PE reporting rhythms and board materials

ON OFFER

  • Salary: Up to £65,000
  • 30 days holiday + matched 5% pension
