Working closely with senior leaders and teams across the business, you’ll turn finance into a strategic enabler- providing insight, clarity, and confidence as we make ambitious decisions.

Key Responsibilities
You’ll take ownership of how finance runs day to day, continually improving core processes like accounts payable and receivable, month-end close, and financial controls. You’ll design and embed practical, scalable finance policies and procedures that support the business as it grows, while staying aligned to best practice and regulatory requirements.
You’ll lead the delivery of high-quality internal reporting, making sure financial information is accurate, timely, and genuinely useful for decision-making. You’ll ensure strong group-wide compliance with controls and external reporting standards, and own the audit process end to end, helping it run smoothly and land with minimal findings.
Working closely with FP&A and the wider finance team, you’ll make sure our reporting, forecasting, and operational processes are aligned and telling a consistent story. You’ll also partner with teams across the business to embed finance operations into everyday ways of working, so finance supports momentum rather than slowing it down.
You’ll drive automation and system improvements using tools like NetSuite, Power BI, and Excel, build clear documentation and training to support adoption and manage risk, and track operational KPIs to spot opportunities for improvement.
Alongside all of this, you’ll lead and mentor a small team, creating a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and technical excellence.
Skills & Experience
You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with strong technical grounding and hands-on experience across finance operations, reporting, and financial control, ideally gained in a fast-growing or international environment. You’ve been in roles where you didn’t just run processes, but improved them, with a proven ability to design and embed finance policies and ways of working that actually stick.
You’re comfortable working with finance systems and data, whether that’s NetSuite (or similar ERP platforms like SAP or Oracle), Excel, or reporting tools such as Power BI, and you enjoy using them to make finance smarter and more efficient. You bring a sharp eye for detail, a naturally analytical mindset, and a practical approach to problem-solving.
Just as importantly, you’re a clear, confident communicator who can work with and influence stakeholders across the business, helping to drive change in a constructive, collaborative way. You’ve led and developed teams before, and you thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments where you’re happy to stay hands-on and close to the detail while still thinking strategically.
