Reporting to the SVP of Finance, this role will operate as the senior integration point across Internal Reporting, External Reporting, and Treasury.

Key Responsibilities:
- Provide senior leadership across Internal Reporting, External Reporting, and Treasury, ensuring clear accountability and alignment across specialist teams.
- Act as a senior finance partner to the Executive Team, supporting the SVP of Finance in delivering high-quality financial insight and decision support.
- Oversee the production and review of monthly management accounts, management information, and Board reporting, ensuring clarity, consistency, and a strong financial narrative.
- Lead finance workstreams supporting capital raises, acquisitions, due diligence, and other strategic corporate transactions.
- Lead relationships with external auditors and advisers, overseeing statutory reporting, the annual report, technical accounting matters, and continuous improvements in audit readiness.
- Provide strategic oversight and challenge across treasury, capital management, and liquidity, working closely with specialist treasury colleagues.
- Strengthen financial governance, controls, and risk management frameworks across the finance function.
- Act as the senior escalation point for complex technical accounting, reporting, and stakeholder matters.
- Champion finance transformation, automation, and continuous improvement across finance systems, reporting processes, and controls.
- Drive improvements in financial reporting quality, documentation, reconciliations, and month-end processes within a rapidly scaling environment.
