Finance Manager - EMEA/NORAM
About the role
This is a broad and high-ownership finance role for someone who thrives on complexity and variety. You will be the primary finance lead across our North American and EMEA entities, responsible for all statutory compliance, tax, and treasury activity in those regions. You will also hold overall responsibility for our global transactional finance function — setting the standards, owning the controls framework, and being accountable for the quality of output across all entities.
The role carries a genuine learning curve in the early months — our entity footprint spans multiple jurisdictions, each with its own compliance calendar and regulatory requirements. Once you have built that knowledge and systematised the recurring work, the role evolves into a broader operational remit, ensuring the transactional team runs to high standards globally.
In addition to statutory and treasury responsibilities, you will own revenue recognition across all NORAM and EMEA entities — ensuring contracts are assessed correctly under IFRS 15 and ASC 606 as applicable, and that revenue is recognised in the right period and entity.
This is a role for a self-starter who can operate without heavy oversight, build processes from scratch, and manage a remote team with genuine care and rigour.
Key responsibilities
Statutory compliance and tax
- Own the statutory filing calendar across all NORAM and EMEA entities
- Manage VAT/GST returns across relevant European jurisdictions
- Coordinate with local advisers on corporate tax filings and ensure deadlines are met
- Maintain compliance with local regulatory requirements including Companies House filings, annual accounts, and any local payroll tax obligations in European entities
- Support the CFO with entity rationalisation and any associated winding-down processes

Treasury
- Manage cash positioning and intercompany funding across NORAM and EMEA entities
- Maintain banking relationships and ensure adequate liquidity across jurisdictions
- Support foreign exchange management and flag exposure to the CFO
Transactional finance — global process ownership
- Hold overall responsibility for the global transactional finance function — accountable to the Head of Finance for process standards, controls, and quality of output across all entities
- The Finance Manager provides day-to-day management of the India team given co-location; you set the framework they operate within and lead formal performance reviews jointly
- Be the clear point of escalation for the transactional team on process, controls, and quality matters — the FM handles day-to-day queries and workload
- Own the global framework for accounts payable, accounts receivable, and ledger management — setting standards, controls, and reconciliation processes
- Conduct regular reviews of transactional output, resolve escalations, and drive continuous improvement
- Ensure the transactional team has the tools, processes, and support to operate effectively across all entities
- Maintain a close working relationship with the APAC Finance Manager — align on team performance, capacity, and any issues requiring escalation; the two roles are designed to complement rather than duplicate each other
Revenue recognition
- Own revenue recognition across all NORAM and EMEA entities in accordance with IFRS 15 and, for US entities, ASC 606
- Review customer contracts to determine correct recognition treatment — including multi-element arrangements, variable consideration, and contract modifications
- Ensure revenue is recognised in the correct period and entity, and that deferred revenue balances are properly maintained
- Liaise with the APAC Finance Manager where contracts span multiple regions, with the contracting entity FM holding primary recognition responsibility
- Support the Head of Finance on judgement areas or technical accounting questions arising from complex deals

- Strong working knowledge of European VAT and multi-jurisdiction statutory compliance
- Experience managing or overseeing a transactional finance function
- Comfortable working independently across multiple entities and time zones
- Experience owning or overseeing a transactional finance function — comfortable setting standards and holding others accountable for output quality
- Able to manage effectively at a distance — the India team will look to the APAC FM day-to-day but will need to feel your ownership of the function
- Organised and process-driven, with a track record of building and systematising finance operations
- Working knowledge of IFRS 15 and ASC 606 revenue recognition standards; able to analyse contract terms and determine correct treatment
- Familiarity with US GAAP or US entity compliance more broadly is advantageous
What to expect in the first six months

- Months 3–4: Systematising recurring compliance work and establishing rhythm with the transactional team
- Months 5–6: Operating independently across the full remit with minimal oversight
