WHAT YOU’LL NEED

You'll need to hold a professional accounting qualification or have significant relevant experience and be working towards completing a professional accounting qualification. Moreover, you'll demonstrate a high level of drive and enthusiasm. Any automotive industry experience would be useful, but not essential. You’ll be resilient and enthusiastic, deliver results under pressure, and respond constructively to challenging new ideas and inputs. You’ll ideally be able to deliver quality and consistency in a complex, highly demanding environment with a range of expectations on what customer-focussed solutions might look like as well as a real passion for the automotive industry.
