DISC profile - Financial Controller
This role will require a person who is able to accept personal responsibility for achieving the desired outcomes required by the job. The ability to manage and direct others will also form an important aspect of the role. The individual will need to be able to concentrate on the practical aspects of the role and assess the facts rationally, without allowing personal views to impede progress.
The person in this position needs to be very much task-focused and unconcerned with what people think of them. They will need to be happy to work independently and not to be inclined to seek recognition for their achievements through praise from peers and management.
