• Strong academic and professional finance background
• Commercially astute, strategic, and comfortable working at pace
• Experience supporting M&A, complex transactions, or transformational initiatives
• Hands-on, detail-oriented when required, with the gravitas to influence senior stakeholders
• Able to build trust across teams, investors, lenders, and external partners
• Experience in consumer, leisure, travel, or service-led sectors is advantageous but not essential.
