The role You’ll be our number one in finance, the person the Chief Executive, the trustees and the leadership team turn to for a clear, honest view of where we stand financially.

Why this role?\n This is more than a reporting and consolidation role. \n You'll have genuine visibility across the EMEA business, working closely with the EMEA CFO and local Finance teams across multiple countries. The Group has ambitious growth plans, including further acquisitions, so there will be plenty of opportunity to broaden your experience and take on more responsibility. \n For the right person, there's a clear opportunity for progression as the business continues to grow. \n If you're currently a Financial Controller or Group Financial Controller and are looking for a role with greater international exposure, more influence and a clear route to progress, this is well worth a conversation.

Implement workflows and integrations between finance systems and other business applications. Design automated outputs to be operable and updatable by finance staff without specialist technical knowledge, including clear guidance and self-checking for monthly, quarterly, and annual refresh cycles.
