The Finance & Tax Operations team plays a critical role in safeguarding the organisation’s financial integrity and ensuring we meet all statutory, regulatory, and shareholder expectations. This function ensures high quality financial reporting, effective risk management, and compliance across complex finance and tax environments.
Where purpose meets career:
* Strategic Impact : Sitting at the intersection of finance, risk management, regulatory compliance, and tax governance means you’re not just crunching numbers—you’re shaping the stability and direction of the organisation.
* Leadership with Autonomy : Many leadership roles come with constraints, but here you’d have the freedom to design processes, set standards, and embed best practices. It’s a chance to leave a real legacy.
* Complex & Rewarding Work : Exposure to life and pensions alongside finance adds depth. These are intricate areas where decisions ripple across long-term organisational health and customer trust.
