Job description

Finance x Risk x Strategy | Senior Leadership Opportunity

When financial judgment meets risk leadership, the impact goes beyond the numbers.

We're looking for a strategic finance leader who can connect the dots between financial integrity, enterprise risk, regulatory expectations and business decisions.

This is an opportunity to take the helm of group-wide financial control for a major organisation operating in a complex, highly regulated environment — partnering with senior leadership to navigate complexity, strengthen governance and safeguard long-term financial resilience.

What You'll Be Driving

• Own the Numbers: Lead group financial reporting, consolidation, accounting policies and balance sheet integrity across multiple entities.
• Think Beyond Finance: Strengthen financial risk oversight, internal controls and governance, identifying potential exposures before they become bigger issues.
• Navigate Regulatory Complexity: Lead tax strategy and compliance, while engaging confidently with auditors, regulators and key stakeholders.
• Steer Capital & Liquidity: Oversee treasury, cash flow, financial assets and capital stewardship to support sound strategic decisions.
• Influence at the Top: Partner with the CFO, Board and senior leadership on complex financial judgments, emerging risks and business‑critical decisions.
• Build for the Future: Lead and develop high‑performing teams across accounting, tax and treasury.

You Could Be a Great Fit If You Have

• A recognised professional qualification in Accounting or Finance (CPA, ACCA, ICAEW or equivalent).
• A strong foundation in Big 4 audit, technical accounting or financial reporting.
• Experience across banking, financial services, technology or other complex, regulated environments.
• Exposure to enterprise risk management, financial risk, regulatory governance or group-wide risk oversight.
• Regional or international experience navigating different regulatory frameworks and multiple entities.
• Familiarity with corporate finance, investments, treasury, liquidity or capital management.
• The confidence to challenge assumptions, exercise sound judgment and influence senior stakeholders.

Why Make the Move?

This isn't just about closing the books or keeping controls in check. It's about connecting finance, risk and strategy - shaping how the organisation manages uncertainty, protects its financial position and makes decisions with confidence.
