- Finance Transformation
- Group Reporting & Technical Accounting
- Strategy
- Capital Allocation & FP&A
- Audit, Risk & Compliance
Experience our portfolio of brands across the UK with your first 12-month rotation based in either Leeds or Bradford, with your second and third rotation in London or Reading. We operate a hybrid working environment, aiming for a minimum of 2 to 3 days per week in the office, with strong emphasis on maintaining flexibility based on our dynamic business needs.
