You'll be joining a major UK retailer at a significant point in its Finance journey, with the opportunity to influence how Group Reporting operates across the organisation rather than simply inheriting an established process. The scale of the business means you'll be dealing with complex group structures, multiple entities and significant reporting requirements, while working alongside senior Finance stakeholders on a transformation that will have a lasting impact. For an experienced Group Reporting Senior Manager, Head of Group Reporting or equivalent who wants to broaden their experience beyond BAU reporting, this offers the opportunity to combine deep technical expertise with genuine transformation exposure and have a visible impact.Robert Half Ltd acts as an employment business for temporary positions and an employment agency for permanent positions.
