About the Team

We’re seeking a credible, experienced Finance Transformation Lead (individual contributor) to help build a tech-enabled global finance organisation that can keep pace with the hypergrowth of the business. Reporting to the Finance Director, you’ll scale processes, controls, reporting and data to public-company calibre—delivering across multiple concurrent workstreams, not a single programme.

You’ll handle technical accounting projects, build robust financial models, and support M&A and fundraising. You will partner closely with Internal Audit to remediate findings and act as the bridge between assurance and delivery. Freed from line management and day to day operations, this is a connector role across Finance and the wider business; success comes from influence, pace, and outcomes. This role would suit someone with high intellect and drive, looking to supercharge their career in a hypergrowth environment.  

About the Role

Systems, Processes and Data

• Implement detailed, automated balance-sheet reconciliation processes fit for high-volume B2B2C and MVNE activity.
• Evolve Order-to-Cash (including B2B2C and MVNE) as part of the broader scaling agenda.
  

Technical Accounting, M&A, and External-Grade Reporting

• Lead IFRS 15 topics (principal/agent, multi-element arrangements, etc), draft position papers and pre-clear with auditors.
• Design the optimal statutory reporting setup in light of a major corporate reorganisation, including entity structure, consolidation approach and disclosures.
• Maintain policy library and risk matrices; run quarterly “dry-run” external reporting packs as we gear toward IPO readiness.
• Support diligence, QoE and IFRS 3 purchase accounting.
  

Controls, Internal Audit and Close

• Design and help implement SOX standard controls across O2C, P2P and R2R.
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with Internal Audit on testing and own remediation to closure with clear owners and timelines.
• Standardise reconciliations, reduce manual journals, and compress month-end close to ≤5 business days.
  

Relationship Building & Cross-Functional Influence

• Serve as the inter- and intra-Finance bridge across Controllership, FP&A, Systems/Engineering, RevOps, Legal/Tax and Commercial.
• Build credibility with senior stakeholders; convert ambiguity into decisions, owners and timelines.
• Establish clear operating cadences (steerco/stand-ups) with crisp updates and risk/decision logs.
  

Requirements

About You
Must-haves

• Hands-on M&A and fundraising support (diligence/QoE, PPA, integration).
• Track record influencing senior stakeholders and landing outcomes at pace.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication.
• Ability to work at pace.
  

Nice-to-haves

• Telco/MVNE/MVNO domain experience.
• Exposure to IPO readiness and public-company controls/reporting.
