Your new roleReporting to the divisional CFO, you will be:

  • Leading and mentoring a team of accountants across the UK, EMEA and further afield. Overseeing FP&A, accounting/control, revenue and transactional finance.

You will be proficient on a range of systems, but most importantly SAP and SAP BFC. As a people manager, you will have a track record of recruiting, inspiring and progressing junior staff as well as highly qualified accountants.

What you’ll get in returnYou will be paid between £150,000 and £200,000 for this role depending on your experience. You will also benefit from a company-wide pension, private healthcare, hybrid working and a competitive bonus incentive.
