Finance Manager - Group Technical Accounting ( 17405 )

Description

Group Technical Accounting Finance Manager (12 Month FTC)

Luton | Full-time | Hybrid

We support hybrid working, and you’ll spend 60% of your time each month in the office.

You turn complex accounting standards into practical reporting solutions and bring people with you through change.

This is an opportunity to shape how easyJet reports its financial performance as we prepare for IFRS 18 and develop the accounting framework for a new customer loyalty programme under IFRS 15.

The opportunity

Joining Group Finance on a 12-month fixed-term contract, you’ll lead the end-to-end assessment, design and implementation of IFRS 18 across our statutory and management reporting environment.

You’ll also help ensure the accounting, reporting and governance for our new loyalty proposition are clearly understood, robustly documented and operationally ready ahead of its planned launch in 2027

“This role combines deep technical accounting with the chance to deliver visible, practical change. We’re looking for someone who can get into the detail, explain it clearly and build reporting solutions that work for the business long after implementation.” Head of Group Statutory Reporting

The team & culture

You’ll work within Group Finance and collaborate with colleagues across Financial Reporting, FP&A, Treasury, Finance Systems, commercial and technology teams.

It’s a fast-moving, data-rich environment where curiosity, sound judgement and constructive challenge are valued. You’ll have the space to influence senior stakeholders while sharing your knowledge across Finance.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll lead the IFRS 18 impact assessment, covering primary financial statements, disclosures, management performance measures, alternative performance measures and comparative reporting requirements.

You’ll define future-state presentation and reporting packs, develop technical accounting papers, and work with Finance Systems on the data, ledger, mapping and consolidation changes needed for implementation.

For the loyalty programme, you’ll challenge key estimates, assumptions and judgements, develop a robust IFRS 15 accounting framework and make sure systems and processes support accurate reporting from day one.

You’ll engage external auditors and senior finance leaders, establish clear governance and controls, and deliver practical training and guidance that build readiness across the business.

What we’re looking for

You’re a qualified accountant, such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent, with significant post-qualification experience and deep technical knowledge of IFRS.

You’ve worked in Group financial reporting within a listed company and have delivered a major accounting standard implementation, reporting change programme or similar finance transformation.

You can translate complex technical issues into clear recommendations, influence senior stakeholders and work confidently with external auditors and technical specialists.

Experience in aviation, travel or another consumer-facing multinational would be useful. Knowledge of revenue recognition, loyalty programme accounting, APMs or consolidation and reporting systems would also be valuable.

What you’ll get

• Competitive base salary + up to 20% bonus
• Private medical insurance
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Annual credit towards an easyJet holiday
• Excellent staff travel benefits
• Flexible benefits package including share schemes

Diversity isn't a checkbox - it's how we fly

Different perspectives strengthen technical decisions, challenge assumptions and help us build reporting that works for everyone. Whatever your background, you’ll be welcomed, respected and encouraged to bring your experience to the table.
