What’s the role?

The Finance Advisor will be involved in a variety of activities/opportunities assigned to them by the Pool (Finance) Manager based on Value/Risk (e.g., control frameworks concerns, performance management system issues, large investments, complex contracts) depending on the requirements of the specific activity:


Deliver the full suite of Finance support (including tax, treasury, accounting, and structuring) autonomously and coordinate the involvement of CoEs above pre-agreed thresholds.

Finance Advisors, as part of a pool supporting the business:
Work on various opportunities across multiple activities/assets and are not dedicated to a specific activity, asset, or business partner. The work they perform will change over time and be prioritised based on value and risk, and professional development.
Will on specific projects/transactions work with business stakeholders to work as the voice of Finance to deliver as “One Finance” with the (CoE) and Finance Operations.

At least five (5) years of relevant experience and a proven track record in driving strong business support and performance.
Range of professional experiences should include some key finance competencies such as Business Performance Management, Business Partnering and Value Management.
