This role will involve significant interaction with the executive leadership team, reporting directly to the Group Financial Controller, with routine exposure to the Group CFO and CEO.

The Group finance function is a dynamic and highly respected team, filled with high-calibre individuals who aide in the commercial growth of the business. They work closely with finance and business leaders across multiple divisions, driving the commercial agenda and acting as a key business advisor, providing insightful partnering across the business.

As part of this team, your key responsibilities will include:

  • Explaining complex financial information obtained from the wider finance team to multiple stakeholders
  • Taking full ownership for both internal and external reporting for the Group's entities

It is vital that you have the intellect to both understand technical accounting and also possess the gravitas and confidence to explain complex financial information to senior business leaders. This is an excellent opportunity to join a business that is renowned for accelerating the careers of high calibre individuals, in a role offering significant exposure to executive leaders, a rarity for positions at this level within an international PLC.
