Finance Manager – UK Subsidiary
Competitive Salary
About the Role
The UK subsidiary of Dr. Wolff Group, a family-owned German multinational, is offering an exciting opportunity for an ambitious Finance Manager. The Dr. Wolff Group has been owned by several generations of family, selling products in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry since 1905, with around 900 colleagues worldwide.
