Key responsibilities:
- Own financial control and reporting for the Global Markets entity, ensuring accuracy and consistency
- Standardise and improve finance processes across regions, including reporting, profitability, pricing and expense management
- Design, document and roll out best‑practice finance processes globally
- Partner with cross‑functional teams to drive alignment and adoption
- Train regional teams on new processes and reporting frameworks
- Manage and develop one direct report
- Support ad‑hoc global finance initiatives as required
Who you are:
