  • Managing multi-entity financial oversight and group cash flow
  • Improving team performance, structure, and clarity
  • Building banking relationships, managing credit lines, and overseeing trade finance
  • Handling time-sensitive payments and supporting finance across time zones
  • Collaborating with external auditors and key stakeholders at year-end
  • Supporting senior leadership with high-impact insights and recommendations
  • Full-time | 08:30 – 17:30 (Flexibility Required Across Time Zones)
  • €72,000 per annum + benefits + car allowance 
What we’re looking for:
  • A confident finance leader who thrives in autonomy
  • Experience working in shipping, maritime, or related industries
  • Proven ability to restructure, lead and motivate international teams
  • Strong technical expertise across all areas of finance and budgeting
  • A flexible mindset, responsive to time-sensitive issues and global operations
  • Commercially aware, process-driven, and people-focused
Why join?

You’ll be joining a forward-thinking company with 100 staff globally and a leadership team ready to invest in change. This is your opportunity to build something better, take full ownership, and make a real impact.

Apply now to shape the future of finance within an international group. I will be in touch to discuss this further before making an application.
