You will be responsible for transforming core finance processes, improving controls, implementing enabling technologies and ensuring that transformation initiatives deliver measurable and sustainable business value.\nUnlike a traditional programme management role, success will not be measured solely by project delivery.

support future-state finance operations.\n\nDrive automation opportunities across close processes, journal management, reconciliations, variance analysis and reporting.\n\nEnsure data integrity, auditability and control considerations are embedded within all system and process changes.\n\nEstablish governance standards for financial data, system ownership and ongoing process maintenance.\n\nProgramme Delivery & Change Management\nApply disciplined project and programme management practices including planning, risk management, benefits tracking, stakeholder communication and delivery governance.\n\nDefine success measures and ensure transformation benefits are tracked, validated and sustained over time.\n\nBuild engagement and buy-in across the finance organisation by clearly communicating objectives, priorities and expected outcomes.\n\nSupport teams through process, technology and organisational change, ensuring successful adoption of new ways of working.\n\nTranslate complex finance, operational and technology challenges into clear and actionable implementation plans.\n\nLeadership & Stakeholder Management\nPartner with senior stakeholders across Finance, Technology, Legal, Operations and commercial functions to align transformation priorities with wider business objectives.\n\nAct as a trusted advisor on finance process, controls, systems and operating model design.\n\nWork alongside finance teams to resolve complex operational challenges, improve processes and implement best practices.\n\nProvide regular reporting to senior leadership on programme progress, risks, benefits realisation and key transformation milestones.\n\nPromote a culture of continuous improvement, accountability and operational excellence across the finance function.\n\nExperience & Qualifications\nEssential.\nQualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, ICAS, or equivalent).\n\nProven experience operating at Head of Finance / Financial Controller

statutory reporting.\n\nTrack record of successfully leading financial systems/process implementation projects (e.g. ERP implementation, close process redesign, close automation tooling).\n\nDemonstrated ability to design and implement future-state close operating models covering process, automation, controls, data, and people.\n\nStrong project management skills and experience, ideally with formal methodology exposure (e.g. Agile, Prince2, or similar).\n\nExperience leading teams through significant change, with a genuine ability to bring people along on the journey.\n\nComfortable being hands-on and detail-oriented while also operating strategically.\n\nDesirable.\nHands-on implementation or advisory experience with one or more close automation or EPM platforms (e.g. FloQast, BlackLine, OneStream, Prophix, or comparable).\n\nExperience in a fast-growing, multi-entity, international business (SaaS/technology sector a plus).\n\nExperience with modern finance/ERP systems (e.g. NetSuite, Workday, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics) and reporting/automation tools.\n\nFamiliarity with the intersection between close quality, internal controls, and external audit.\n\nPrior experience partnering with Legal, HR, and commercial teams on cross-functional finance matters.\n\nPMP / PRINCE2 / Agile certification, or a Lean Six Sigma qualification.\n\nOur perks and quirks.\nWhat makes you Q will help you to realise your full potential, flourish and enjoy what you do, while being recognised and rewarded with our broad range of
