Finance Manager Remote
Job description
We are recruiting for a finance manager with a salary range of £36,175 to £45,177 pro rata based on experience.
This is a remote, part time role for 2 days (15 hours) per week. Working days and hours can be structured according to the needs of the successful candidate. To maintain team synergy, at least some working hours would need to be at a consistent time between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.
This is a permanent position subject to a probationary period of six months. This is primarily a remote role and day-to-day working will be done remotely. We hold in-person strategy days once a quarter and occasionally have in-person meetings between these times.
