The FS Commercial Finance team at AO has a varied remit, from finance and operations, to reporting and analytics. Our Commercial Analyst Intern will have contact with departments across the group on a weekly basis, so we need someone who can communicate with people on all levels in a friendly and professional way. Reporting to Steve, our RP&A Manager, you’ll collaborate closely with the entire Commercial team.
We work in a fast paced business in a constantly changing environment, however, the Commercial Finance function provides stability with a timetable that allows for both weekly and monthly reporting. Our employees are able to work towards a timely schedule, however, are still required to think on their feet.
