Base pay range

We’re excited to be recruiting for two Financial Reporting Managers on fixed-term contracts, each offering a unique opportunity to make an impact in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

Role 1 will focus on managing the financial and management reporting and compliance for our royalty, management and other head office companies, including accounting across the wider Virgin Group. Role 2 will support our Financial Controller in our Loyalty Business across financial and management reporting, operational controls, and technical accounting.

Both roles offer the opportunity to be part of a high-performing finance team within a globally recognised brand. Both positions play a vital role in driving excellence and reflect our commitment to making finance a great place to work. Are you ready to take the next step in your career and immerse yourself in a globally recognised brand? If so, then we’d love to hear from you!

We’re a huge brand, but not a huge team, which means we take a hands-on approach while thinking strategically. Everyone rolls up their sleeves to get things done, making it an exciting and collaborative place to work.
