Head of Financial Control

Why This Role Stands Out:

1. Strategic Influence: Lead and develop a geographically dispersed team of Financial Controllers, fostering collaboration and alignment across diverse markets. Your leadership will drive best practices and standardisation while respecting local compliance needs.

2. Comprehensive Financial Oversight: Ensure timely, accurate, and consistent financial reporting in line with IFRS/GAAP and internal standards. Provide insightful analysis to senior leadership, overseeing month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes.

3. Business Partnering: Collaborate with business leaders to influence strategic initiatives, operational decisions, and financial planning. Your ability to translate financial data into actionable insights will be crucial.

4. Compliance and Risk Management: Ensure adherence to all relevant financial regulations, tax laws, and internal policies. Proactively identify and mitigate financial risks at both local and regional levels.

5. Continuous Improvement: Drive automation and enhancement of financial processes, reporting tools, and internal controls. Work with the Financial Operations team to streamline transactional tasks to the external Shared Service Centre.

Qualifications and Experience:

What you will bring:
- Recognised accounting qualification (e.g., CPA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent).
- Significant progressive finance experience, including leadership of international teams.
- Proven track record in managing multi-country financial operations and reporting.
- Deep understanding of IFRS and local GAAPs; strong compliance and control orientation.
- Experience in a matrixed or multinational corporate environment.
- Excellent leadership, communication, and influencing skills.
