Lead all aspects of financial accounting, forecasting, and performance analysis, identifying opportunities to drive profitability and efficiency.
Oversee cash flow, treasury, and banking relationships, ensuring effective working capital management.
Deliver accurate, timely management reporting, budgets, and long-term planning (including the 5-year plan).
Ensure robust governance, internal controls, and compliance across all financial operations.
Work closely with auditors, insurers, and external partners to maintain best-in-class financial discipline.
Act as a key member of the Senior Management Team, contributing to strategic initiatives such as:
