Office location - 2 days per week (Surrey/London)

Shape the Future of Global Finance

We're looking for an exceptional Global Process Owner (R2R) to lead the strategy, transformation, and governance of a complex, global Record-to-Report function.

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a critical finance process on a global scale, driving standardisation, automation, and best-in-class financial governance across multiple markets. You'll play a pivotal role in creating a world-class finance function, partnering with senior leaders across Finance, Technology, Operations, and Shared Services to deliver measurable improvements in control, efficiency, and business performance.

Reporting directly to Group Finance , you'll be at the forefront of a major finance transformation agenda, leveraging technology, data, AI, and process excellence to redefine how finance supports the wider business.

What You'll Be Doing

Lead the Global R2R Strategy

• Own and evolve the end-to-end global Record-to-Report operating model.
• Define governance, policies, controls, and standards across all regions.
• Ensure compliance with IFRS/GAAP, regulatory requirements, and audit expectations.
• Act as the ultimate authority on global R2R processes, driving consistency and accountability across the organisation.

Drive Finance Transformation

• Lead a multi-year global transformation roadmap.
• Champion ERP optimisation, intelligent automation, AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics.
• Simplify and standardise processes across markets to improve efficiency and scalability.
• Build a culture of continuous improvement using Lean, Six Sigma, and automation methodologies.

Deliver Insight & Performance

• Own process performance metrics, SLAs, and KPIs across the finance landscape.
• Enhance financial controls, reporting quality, and balance sheet integrity.
• Use data-driven insights to support executive decision-making and improve operational performance.
• Drive sustainable improvements in cost, service quality, and business outcomes.

Influence at the Highest Level

• Partner with Finance Leadership, FP&A, Business Partnering teams, Technology, Operations, and Shared Services.
• Lead complex change programmes and secure buy-in from senior stakeholders globally.
• Act as the key link between finance operations and wider business strategy.
• Ensure finance processes support growth, scalability, and long-term value creation.

What We're Looking For

• Significant experience leading large-scale Record-to-Report functions within complex, multinational organisations.
• Proven track record of delivering finance transformation and process optimisation programmes.
• Deep understanding of accounting governance, financial controls, statutory requirements, and reporting standards.
• Strong expertise in ERP environments, automation, digital transformation, and emerging technologies.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence executive-level decision makers.
• Experience driving global operating models, shared services, and process standardisation initiatives.
• A strategic thinker who can balance operational excellence with long-term business goals.

Why This Opportunity?

This is far more than a traditional finance leadership role.

You'll have the platform to shape a globally recognised finance function, influence board-level decision making, and lead a transformation programme that will redefine how finance operates across the business. If you're passionate about process excellence, digital innovation, and leading change at scale, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact.
