- Ensuring the accuracy, control and integrity of project financials, invoices and supplier contracts.
- Preparing executive-level financial reports and PowerPoint presentations for the SteerCo and Board.

- Proven exposure to large-scale capital or transformation projects.
- Strong financial modelling and scenario analysis capability, with the ability to work with incomplete or evolving data at pace
