Shape the Financial Future of a Growing Global Logistics Business

Metro is moving through an exciting period of international growth, investment and transformation. With operations spanning the UK, US, India and wider global markets, we are strengthening how we operate, improving the way we use financial insight and building scalable foundations for the future.

As our Global Finance Director, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the next chapter of that journey. This is a senior leadership opportunity with Board-level visibility, international influence, direct interaction with finance peers across the wider GB Global group and the scope to build a finance function that is commercially focused, globally connected and equipped to support ambitious growth.

We are looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Global Finance Director to lead Metro’s international finance function through its next stage of growth.

This is a role for someone who wants to build, improve and influence. You will take ownership of global financial governance, statutory reporting, management accounts, taxation, treasury, controls, multi-entity reporting and finance leadership, while modernising how finance supports the business.

You will create scalable processes, strengthen global reporting, improve financial insight and develop a more connected finance community across our international operations. If you are energised by building capability, improving performance and making finance a true strategic partner, this is an opportunity to make a visible and lasting impact.
