Additional Comments:
The focus in this role is the candidate’s ability to work with and manipulate large
amounts of financial data. Excel, Access and general computer skills are therefore
essential. The candidate needs to be stress resistant as he/she will have to work with
large amounts in short time periods. Most of the tools used to manipulate are already in
place but would need fine-tuning and the possibility is there to create new financial
tools to simplify the process. An accounting background is required with good experience
within an international working environment. English needs to be at a fluent level as a
lot of work is done with colleagues in the UK. The team is very focused and determined
with a strong drive to get the job done on time. The candidate in this role will be
leading a small team of two FTE’s. Candidate needs to have at least 5 years experience
in a similar role.
Candidates need to be able to start immediately as these roles need to be filled urgently.
Intention is to schedule interviews on Friday the 10th of September.
