• Taking the lead in business partnering with various budget holders and members of the Senior Management Team

To be considered for the Finance Business Partner vacancy, candidates will need to meet these minimum criteria:

• Be a qualified accountant, or truly QBE, with strong experience providing budget and forecasting support to challenging budget holders
• Have first class communication and human interaction skills and the proven ability to build strong working relationships.
