Own and drive project plans, governance, and delivery timelines
Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders including:
Finance (BAU teams)
IT, HR, and shared service centres (India)
External partners and advisors
Run stakeholder meetings, track actions, and ensure delivery against milestones
Provide oversight on month-end processes (review and coordination vs. execution)
Ensure financial outputs and processes align with agreed TSA frameworks
What We’re Looking For
Essential
Strong finance/accounting background with a solid understanding of financial processes and statements
Ideally a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA)
Proven experience managing projects end-to-end
Confident stakeholder manager across multiple functions and geographies
Able to operate independently and thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
Preferred
Exposure to M&A, carve-outs, divestitures, or TSAs
Experience in finance transformation or shared services environments
Background in Big 4 or top-tier advisory firms (e.g. PwC, EY, KPMG, Deloitte, BDO, RSM)
Key Skills & Attributes
Proactive and solutions-focused with strong ownership mindset
Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple workstreams
Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
Commercially aware, with an understanding of transaction impacts on finance operations
Why Join Us?
Opportunity to work on high-profile divestiture and transformation projects
Exposure to senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams globally
Fast-paced, high-impact environment with strong learning opportunities
Potential for contract extension based on project pipeline
