Director - EMEA Accounting Operations

At the heart of our organisation is a commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality outcomes that create lasting value for our customers and partners. We foster a collaborative culture grounded in continuous improvement, accountability, and teamwork—core to how we operate and succeed. As we continue to scale and evolve, finance plays a critical role in ensuring strong governance, operational excellence, and the insights needed to drive sustainable growth. 

This role represents a pivotal leadership opportunity to lead our EMEA accounting operations function, delivering accurate, controlled, and efficient accounting processes that underpin business performance. You will build and scale a high-performing team while embedding best-in-class financial controls and driving improvements across core finance processes. Sitting at the intersection of finance, technology, and transformation, this role offers the opportunity to leverage platforms such as D365 to modernise and streamline operations. 

What makes this opportunity compelling is the ability to shape a growing accounting operations function while partnering closely with senior stakeholders across the business. You will directly impact cash outcomes, strengthen governance, and enable better decision-making through improved metrics and insights. For a leader who thrives in dynamic environments and is passionate about inspiring change, this is a unique opportunity to build capability, lead transformation, and leave a lasting imprint on a critical function.
