Key responsibilities

• Own financial control and reporting for the Global Markets entity, ensuring accuracy and consistency
• Standardise and improve finance processes across regions, including reporting, profitability, pricing and expense management
• Design, document and roll out best‑practice finance processes globally
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to drive alignment and adoption
• Train regional teams on new processes and reporting frameworks
• Manage and develop one direct report
