* Coordinate audit processes and manage relationships with external auditors and advisors
* Oversee statutory accounts for subsidiaries (FRS 102) and drive process ownership at local level
* Support the rollout of Group accounting policies and internal financial controls
* Collaborate on financial systems development and process efficiency
* Contribute to ESG-related financial reporting and disclosures
