Head of Finance

Position

Head of Finance North America

Key opportunity

This is not a normal accounting role. At the core is of the role is the requirement that all the basics of finance are performed well, from working capital controls, balance sheet integrity, regulatory returns through to statutory and Board reporting. But this role is for someone who also wants to grow and who is prepared to be at the core of that growth, so involvement in the roll out of technology, analysis of customer cohorts and profitability, efficiency and control of logistics/warehousing operations are other areas where this role also needs to deliver. The role will be demanding but with that will come the satisfaction of building a terrific business, working with a team across the world that is already based on great global foundations.
