  * Building financial models to support scenario planning, cashflow projections and wider strategic decision-making

  * Partnering proactively with operational and commercial leaders, using financial insight to challenge performance and identify opportunities

  * Improving visibility of gross margin and profitability by site, customer, product and revenue stream

  * Supporting pricing, tender analysis and broader profitability improvement initiatives

  * Driving standardisation of systems, processes and reporting, including supporting ERP integration and the move towards dashboard-led reporting

  * Owning short and medium-term cashflow forecasting, and monitoring working capital performance across debtors, creditors and inventory

  * Acting as deputy to the Group Finance Director where required
