We are looking for a Senior Management Accountant to join our Group Finance team. This is a high-impact role offering broad exposure across a growing global listed business.

You will take ownership of key areas of the monthly close and management reporting cycle, working across multiple entities and divisions. You will turn financial results into meaningful insight, play a key role in the implementation of Net Suite, explore how AI can improve our processes and reporting, and, in time, recruit and develop an Assistant Management Accountant.

• Help deliver Net Suite. Play an active role in the implementation of Net Suite and its transition into business-as-usual operations, helping to ensure the new system supports accurate, efficient and scalable reporting.
