A world leading FTSE listed manufacturing business, consistently voted as one of the "best FTSE businesses to work" is looking for a Regional Internal Controls Manager, based remotely anywhere in the UK (office in London, but you are only required there 2/3 days per month); or Paris, France; or Madrid, Spain; or Milan, Italy, reporting directly to the Director of Internal Controls. The Group operates in more than 50 countries in 100+ operating units and is seen as the global leader in nearly all of the markets in which it operates. Travel will be about 15%, all around the UK & across Europe.
The Regional Internal Controls Manager will lead the workstream responsible for rolling out and implementing the Group's Internal Control Framework for the entire EMEA region in order to implement and maintain the control environment to the standard required for a business of this size.
Managing a team of three (3) Internal Controls Managers, the workload will be varied and challenging and will include significant exposure to the Group CFO and the Group Finance Leadership Team alongside the requirement to build close working relationships with the Group's chosen Big 4 external partner on the internal controls journey, the internal control specialists located within the Group's various operating geographies and the Group's external Auditors. The ability to work in a very structured manner whilst building strong cross-border relationships will be key to success.
We are looking for a person with a background in audit and/or controls from training in a Big 4 / Top 10, a commercial business, or a mix of the two. Experience of accounting and reporting issues faced by a global, publicly listed Group reporting under IFRS; and of rolling out and/or operating in a SOX environment would be an advantage. English is the working language of this business, but fluent French, German, Spanish and/or Italian, would play a significant advantage.
