We're looking for an experienced Executive Assistant with strong finance operations experience to step into a fast-paced, hands-on interim role. This position is ideal for someone who is equally comfortable processing financial transactions as they are supporting senior stakeholders-someone who brings structure, accuracy, and calm organisation to a busy environment.

The Role

  • You'll play a key role supporting both finance operations and senior business stakeholders, ensuring processes run smoothly, deadlines are met, and information is handled with accuracy and discretion.
  • This is a practical, detail-focused role where you'll be trusted to manage high-volume tasks while maintaining a high standard of professionalism.

Key Responsibilities

Finance Operations & Governance

  • Manage day-to-day financial transactions, including accounts payable/receivable, invoicing, and reconciliations

  • Ensure financial data is accurate, compliant, and audit-ready

  • Work across systems (e.g. D365), spreadsheets, and shared inboxes to manage high-volume workflows

  • Analyse financial and procurement data to support decision-making and process improvements

Executive & Business Support

  • Manage shared inboxes and coordinate documentation across teams

  • Maintain organised and accessible SharePoint structures

  • Provide diary and inbox support to senior stakeholders as required

  • Act as a key point of coordination between finance and wider business teams

  • Communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders

  • Handle confidential information with discretion in a fast-moving environment

What We're Looking For

  • Strong hands-on experience in transactional finance (AP/AR, reconciliations, controls)

  • Confident using finance systems such as D365 (or similar ERP systems)

  • Highly organised, detail-driven, and able to manage competing priorities

  • Comfortable working at pace while maintaining accuracy

  • Confident communicator with the ability to work across teams

  • Professional, adaptable, and solutions-focused

If you're interested, then please apply below. The closing date for this role is Friday 10th April.
