• Designing and modelling pricing strategies across customers, services and segments
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and performance tracking for the division
• Improving reporting visibility, processes and commercial insight
• Building service and tender pricing models to support commercial bids and contract negotiations

To succeed in this role, you’ll bring:

• 2-3 years’ experience in management or operational accounting (ideally in logistics, transport or manufacturing)
• Advanced Excel skills (Power BI / Power Query a strong advantage)
• CA/CPA qualified or working toward it
• Strong time management and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively
• Confidence engaging with non‑financial stakeholders
• A curious, analytical mindset with strong numerical accuracy and pace
• Bonus: Studies or exposure to Chemistry or Chemical Engineering - great for understanding our technical environment
