Job Description

Founded over 20 years ago by three entrepreneurial women with a passion for beautiful, practical and comfortable homes, OKA is more than a furniture and homeware retailer: it is a love affair with living well.

\xe2\x80\x8b

We inspire people to confidently create a home that reflects their personality, a space where nothing should be too precious or perfect to be enjoyed with family and friends. British-born, today we have 13 stores across the UK - and are excited to have recently opened our third store in the US - an established Interior Design and Trade business, a mail-order service and a thriving website.

\xe2\x80\x8b

We are currently looking to recruit a full-time Financial Planning and Analysis Manager to support our Finance Team, based at our office in Didcot, Oxfordshire or Chelsea, London.

\xe2\x80\x8b

We operate a hybrid working model: three or more days from an office location, the remainder of the week from home.
