  • Collaborative and inclusive culture that values continuous improvement

The role :

  • Lead the development, maintenance and governance of finance master data design

  • Act as a subject matter expert on key global initiatives (e.g. global chart of accounts, data governance embedment, finance transformation projects)
  • Define and update roles and responsibilities of data owners, stewards and custodians
  • Produce governance reporting to highlight data quality issues and risks
  • Partner with global shared services and finance stakeholders to embed governance processes
  • Support data management business cases and prepare submissions for leadership forums
  • Qualifications / technical requirements :

  • Degree-qualified (finance, accounting, or related field)
  • 8+ years of experience in the field
  • Work inside a multi-national organisation / top 10 accountancy firm highly desirable
  • Qualified accountant (ACA, CIMA, CIA or equivalent) preferred
  • Strong understanding of finance data architecture — ideally with SAP FICO experience (S / 4HANA, BW, Datasphere)
  • Proven experience in data governance, finance transformation, or large-scale ERP projects
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Comfortable operating across global teams and time zones
  • It is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys a proactive role and driving change across a complex landscape!
