• Ability to explain complex financial matters to both finance and non-finance contacts
• Excellent time management across multiple tasks and projects
• Intermediate to advanced MS Office skills, especially Excel and PowerPoint
• Strong academic record
• Experience with SkyMetrix/AirPas is desirable but not essential

• Excellent staff travel benefits
• 25 days of annual leave bank holidays
• Annual credit towards an easyJet holiday
