Job Description

The Financial Accounting Manager is responsible for the accuracy, integrity and control of accounting across a portfolio of legal entities and jurisdictions.

This is a senior financial accounting position requiring strong technical judgement, hands-on ownership and the confidence to challenge existing ways of working. The successful candidate will combine rigorous accounting and control with a clear transformation mindset, using technology, standardisation and automation to build more efficient and scalable processes.

We are seeking someone with the drive and potential to become a trusted finance leader, take on increasingly complex Group-wide responsibilities and help shape the future operating model of the finance function.
