Responsibilities / What You’ll Do:

• Inspire and grow a high performing team. Set a clear vision, coach for outcomes, and create an environment where people win, learn, lead, and grow—every quarter, not just at review time.
• Own your numbers—end to end. Hold ultimate responsibility for the P&L and balance sheet in your functional area: monthly close integrity, reconciliations, variance analysis, and balance sheet substantiation that stands up to audit, partnering with the FP&A team to provide insights to senior leadership on your area.
• Lead payroll oversight for your region. Review payroll outputs across EMEA entities to ensure accuracy, compliance, and correct financial posting—partnering with HR and external providers to resolve discrepancies fast.
• Drive SOX excellence across EMEA. Lead and continuously improve SOX compliance for your functional area — strengthening control design, tightening execution, closing gaps quickly, and ensuring documentation, walkthroughs, and testing materials are audit ready every cycle.
• Champion simpler, stronger, more automated controls that scale across all nine legal entities.
• Create cross entity cohesion. Identify where processes diverge, align ways of working, and build scalable, unified approaches across all EMEA entities—unlocking shared efficiencies, stronger controls, and a more seamless month end experience.
• Enable geo-expansion at pace. Partner with Tax, Legal, Supply Chain, Commercial and FP&A to stand up new markets, channels, and go-to-market models, owning finance readiness, controls, and day1 reporting.
• Land the month, tell the story. Deliver an accurate, on time close; distill the “so what” for senior leaders alongside your FP&A partners; and convert data into clear actions for the business.

What You’ll Bring:

• Proven leadership of high performing finance teams.
• Multientity EMEA experience with full P&L and balance sheet ownership.
• Strong business partnering, especially with FP&A.
• Experience improving processes and delivering measurable efficiency.
• ERP experience (SAP/Oracle/NetSuite or similar) and strong BI/Excel capability.
• Professional accounting qualification (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent).
