As the finance function expands its capability and strengthens its controls environment, this role offers enormous potential to ambitious, technically strong finance professionals who wish to join the team as Group Reporting Manager.
Working closely with an experienced Financial Controller, your responsibilities will provide significant exposure across financial reporting, audit, controls, technical accounting, and stakeholder engagement. Even more importantly, the position will serve as a springboard for progression, granting you the breadth of experience and responsibility needed to eventually advance into a Financial Controller role.
If you're a finance professional seeking to accelerate your career in a supportive yet high-performing environment, this opportunity will equip you with the skills, credibility, and commercial insight required for the next stage of your leadership journey.

As the operational lead for month-end close, balance sheet governance, audit delivery, and financial controls, you will collaborate closely with the Financial Controller to uphold a robust reporting framework while continually enhancing processes and controls. This role provides exposure to both technical and operational finance, offering an exceptional chance to deepen expertise while gaining valuable leadership experience.
