2. Advanced Financial Operations & ERP Optimization

• Technical Mastery: Ensure the deep adoption and continuous optimization of Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP, driving the transition from manual efforts to automated excellence.

• Complex Accounting: Oversee intricate processes such as IFRS 16 (Leases), multi-currency revaluations, intercompany journals, and the rigorous month-end/year-end close.

• Continuous Improvement: Utilize AI and automation tools to enhance process efficiency, reducing cycle times for bank reconciliations and financial reporting.

3. Global Governance & Stakeholder Synergy

• Cross-Border Liaison: Serve as the primary point of contact for in-country finance teams, ensuring that localized tax and statutory requirements are seamlessly integrated into the FBSS workflow.

• Risk & Compliance: Maintain a robust internal control framework to mitigate risk across diverse jurisdictions.

• Harmonization: Drive the standardization of finance processes across all 15 countries to ensure a "single source of truth" for the organization.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Business. (ACA, ACCA, or equivalent professional qualification is highly preferred).

• Experience: 6–8 years in finance operations, with a strong preference for candidates from a Shared Services (SSC) or Centralized Finance background.

• ERP Proficiency: Advanced experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (or similar Tier-1 ERPs like SAP/Oracle).

• Excel Mastery: Advanced spreadsheet modeling and data analysis skills.

Core Competencies

• Operational Acumen: Deep understanding of the end-to-end "Record-to-Report" (R2R) and "Order-to-Cash" (O2C) cycles.
