Your new role

As a Cost Controller, you will join a team of two colleagues and serve as the key finance partners. In this hybrid role, you will work onsite three days per week (Tuesdays and Fridays are fixed office days, with a third flexible day) to actively collaborate with stakeholders, support decision-making, and drive cost management initiatives. You will report to the Expert Lead Branch Mobile Sales & Business Intelligence and act as the primary point of contact for all Retail budget-related topics.
