• Support the preparation of board materials, clearly articulating accounting implications and key judgements
• Document accounting positions, assumptions and rationale to support governance and audit requirements
About you

• Strong analytical capability, with the ability to interpret complex accounting and commercial issues
• Clear and concise communication skills, with the ability to simplify technical concepts
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• High attention to detail, with sound judgement on material issues
