RBAT, a Rheinmetall joint venture delivering advanced defence and technology capabilities in Qatar, is looking for a Finance Controller to own the integrity of our financial records and be the technical backbone of a growing finance and commercial function.
This is a hands-on, broad role for someone who can keep the books accurate and audit-ready year-round — not just at year-end. You'll own the close, financial control, IFRS compliance and reporting, and lead our external audit end-to-end. Beyond the core, you'll partner on the commercial side of the business — supporting pricing, bids and contract reviews with the cost and margin insight that underpins sound commercial decisions.
You'll also coach and develop the accounting team, making financial integrity institutional rather than person-dependent.
- Month-end close, the general ledger, and a fully reconciled balance sheet
- IFRS compliance, technical accounting positions, and statutory financial statements
- End-to-end leadership of the annual external audit, delivering clean, on-time outcomes
- Internal controls, group/shareholder reporting, and Qatari statutory and tax compliance
- Project cost control, pricing support, and commercial input into bids and contract reviews
- Coaching and developing the accounting team
- A professional qualification (ACCA, CPA, CA, ACA or CIMA)8+ years' finance experience, including a senior controller/reporting role
- A proven track record of leading external audits as client-side owner
- Strong, current IFRS expertise and hands-on ERP experience
- Commercial acumen — comfortable translating cost and margin analysis into pricing and bid decisions
- Meticulous, control-minded, and genuinely comfortable being the finance Swiss army knife
- Experience gained in a Big 4 audit firm — followed by a move into industry — is a strong advantage, as is experience in project-based, defence, engineering or contracting environments and GCC/Qatar exposure.
- If you take personal ownership of clean books and want to build the finance function of a growing defence-technology business, we'd like to hear from you.
