Description

This is a pivotal role overseeing a team of around 40 finance specialists who manage accounts receivable, accounts payable, and record‑to‑report activities across multiple countries in the region.
The centre is still in its early stages of development, so the successful candidate will act as a champion for its growth, driving process improvements, ensuring compliance, and preparing the SSC to take on additional responsibilities over time. You will report directly to regional finance leadership, with a dotted line to the global shared services operations function.

- Deliver consistent, high‑quality service in line with shared services operating models.
- Champion operational efficiencies and service improvement initiatives, including automation.
- Manage stakeholder relationships across business units and external partners.
- Oversee workforce planning, staff development, and performance management for SSC personnel.
- Support onboarding and training for new systems and processes.
- Contribute to ad hoc projects and strategic initiatives as required.
Qualification & Requirements
- Degree in Accounting/Finance or professional qualification (e.g., ACCA).
- Minimum 5 years of shared services experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership role.
- Audit background is advantageous.
- Strong people management and team development skills.
- Excellent communication skills in English; additional languages are a plus.
