Background:
STERIS plc is a leading provider of infection prevention and procedural surgical products and services, focused primarily on the critical markets of healthcare, pharmaceutical and research and medical device companies. Our mission is to provide a healthier today and a safer tomorrow through knowledgeable people and innovative infection prevention, decontamination and health science technologies, products and services.

Implement and comply with Group policy, controls and standardised processes. Support Finance Ops team in their delivery of SOX compliance as required;
??Evaluate business decisions and support decision analysis with the use of investment and business cases; monitor on-going projects to ensure benefits are being realised. Ensure that all expenditure (opex and capex) optimises value creation, for example by monitoring relevant KPIs and leading indicators.

??Institute key metrics and reporting that measure the performance of the business units, helping to develop and maintain product line profitability. Drive continuous improvement and excellence in financial and commercial performance.
