The Ideal Candidate

• Brings experience in, or understanding of, procurement finance / PPV management within a complex, commodity driven business environment
• Confident business partnering with senior stakeholders, including those who can be challenging
• Highly capable working with complex data and systems, able to turn detailed data into clear, commercially focused insight
