We’re building experiences that wow our customers – and that starts with bold, curious people who want to do work that matters.

If you’re hungry to grow, excited by impact and ready for a challenge that will supercharge your career, this could be your moment.

As Head of Finance Operations & Shared Services, you’ll lead the UK operational finance function and the Group’s Central Accounts Payable operation, providing strong financial stewardship, operational leadership and scalable shared-service delivery. You’ll be responsible for ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting, robust governance and controls, effective procure-to-pay operations, and continuous improvement through standardization, automation and data-led decision-making. 

This is a senior finance leadership role that combines technical finance expertise with operational excellence, transformation and people leadership, partnering across Finance, Procurement, Treasury, Technology and the wider business to deliver an efficient, controlled and future-ready finance operating model. Your drive and ideas will help us move faster, improve smarter, and stay ahead of the game.

What you’ll do

You’ll take ownership of work that gives us our competitive edge, including:

Financial Leadership and Performance

• Lead the UK operational finance team and deliver accurate, timely month-end, management and statutory reporting across the relevant entities. 
• Own budgets, forecasts, performance analysis and decision support; identify risks, opportunities and corrective actions. 
• Maintain balance-sheet integrity, including reconciliations, open items, intercompany balances, accruals, assets, internal billing and finance-related contract governance.
  

Central Accounts Payable and Procure-to-pay

• Provide end-to-end leadership of Central AP, partnering with Procurement, Treasury, Finance Technology and regional finance teams. 
• Oversee PO governance, delegated-authority compliance, vendor-master controls, invoice intake and coding, PO/receipt/invoice matching, posting, reconciliations and exception resolution. 
• Set service levels and performance measures covering quality, cycle time, compliance, productivity, stakeholder experience and automation. 
• Maintain segregation of duties: Central AP owns vendor and invoice operations; payment execution and bank release remain with Central Payments. 
  

Governance, Controls and Transformation

• Ensure compliance with IFRS, applicable statutory and tax requirements, Group policies and the SOX control environment; lead audit readiness and timely close activities in FloQast. 
• Drive standardization, simplification and automation across finance and AP, using data, root-cause analysis and technology to improve control quality and service performance. 
• Own business requirements and control outcomes for relevant finance systems and integrations, including Zip, Business Central and FloQast. 
  

People and Stakeholder Leadership

• Build, coach and develop high-performing finance and AP teams with clear accountability, performance standards and succession capability. 
• Partner with senior leaders and cross-functional teams, communicating complex matters clearly and constructively challenging where required. 

This list covers your core responsibilities – with plenty of room to stretch, explore and take on new challenges as we grow.

You’re someone who brings:

• Recognized professional accounting qualification: CA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent. 

• Substantial progressive finance experience, including multi-entity operational finance responsibility and meaningful leadership experience. 

• Strong IFRS knowledge and proven capability across financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, audit, tax, governance and internal controls. 

• Experience leading or transforming a high-volume AP, procure-to-pay or finance shared-services environment. 

• Strong understanding of vendor-master governance, PO compliance, invoice matching, reconciliations, exception management and segregation of duties. 

• Demonstrated ability to improve processes through systems, data, automation and performance measurement. 

• Strong commercial judgment, analytical capability, stakeholder influence, written and verbal communication, and people leadership.
