About the organisation

Our client is a dynamic, rapidly expanding European service provider with a strong presence across multiple international locations. Operating through several specialized service and refurbishment hubs, the organization is a key player in its field, focused on delivering high-quality operational solutions.

At its core, this company is dedicated to supporting a circular economy by providing end-to-end after-sales services for a wide range of electronic and mechanical devices.

Due to continued growth, the finance function is evolving rapidly. This role offers a unique opportunity to grow alongside the organization and further develop both your responsibilities and your position within the finance team.
