• Drive improvements in close cycles, reporting accuracy and financial controls
• Standardise chart of accounts and reporting structures across the organisation
• Work closely with Finance teams, including controllership and audit functions
• Influence stakeholders and drive adoption across global teams

Key experience:

• Proven experience leading Record to Report transformation within complex organisations
• Strong understanding of general ledger, close, consolidation and group reporting environments
• Experience working within structured financial reporting and control frameworks
• Experience working on ERP implementations, ideally NetSuite
• Ability to operate in ambiguous environments and drive change without heavy support
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
• Hands-on approach with a focus on delivery and outcomes

This is a high-impact role requiring someone who can build the framework, implement change and bring stakeholders on the journey.
