Effectively support and challenge the product engineering, operational and group finance teams on their journey to evolve and mature our risk and control environment.
Partner with both finance and non-finance teams as needed to address risks and controls related to financial reporting. You'll need to build strong effective relationships across the organisation to help us meet our goals.
Work closely with finance teams to help guide and deliver on control design improvements. We love automation and our engineers will need your help to design the most efficient controls.
Keep on track of Finance Risk and Control findings and also monitor the progress for internal and external audit actions to ensure they're completed on time and actions are adequate to mitigate the risks identified.
