You'll be responsible for:

• Partnering with operational and contract leaders to provide commercial and financial insight that supports strategic decision-making.

• Supporting commercial negotiations including contract variations, extensions and change notices.
• Monitoring financial and commercial risks and driving mitigation plans.
• Working closely with our Finance Hub to ensure the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting.
• Using digital tools, technology and data analytics to improve financial decision-making.
• Presenting complex financial information in a clear and engaging way for a range of stakeholders.
• Building strong relationships across operational, commercial and finance teams to influence positive outcomes.
