<li>Lead, coach, and develop the accounting team. Set clear expectations, build capability, and create an environment where people do their best work.</li>
<li>Build and enforce accounting policies, procedures, and systems. If a process doesn't exist or doesn't work, fix it. Continuous improvement is part of the job.</li>
<li>Deliver financial analysis that actually drives decisions, partnering with leadership to support strategic planning, performance reviews, and investment decisions.</li>
<li>Build the procurement function from the ground up. Create SOPs, draft procurement policy, and put a proper framework in place for how the division buys.</li>
<li>Develop and execute procurement strategies that are aligned to business goals. This isn't just admin. You'll be shaping how we source, what we spend, and who we work with.</li>
<li>Identify, evaluate, and negotiate with suppliers to secure the best terms, build strong vendor relationships, and hold suppliers to account.</li>
<li>Track market trends and supplier performance, using data to inform purchasing decisions and stay ahead of cost pressures.</li>
<li>Ensure procurement compliance with Group company policies and relevant regulations, working within the wider group framework while tailoring processes to divisional needs.</li>
<li>Own the procurement budget and report on cost-saving initiatives, showing where money is going and where it can be saved.</li>
