* Set and maintain a strong SPV control environment, with accountability for SOX controls, reconciliations, governance attestations and risk assessments.
* Sponsor and oversee change impacting SPVs, ensuring accounting, systems and controls are robustly designed from inception.
* Own senior relationships with external auditors, leading audit cycles, managing findings and ensuring actions are embedded sustainably.
What we’re looking for:
* A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA etc) with 3 years or more experience, ideally with financial services sector and line management experience.
