APAC Group Financial Controller

Reporting directly to the CFO, this role will lead regional financial controllership, governance, treasury and technical accounting across a high-performing finance function. Despite the size and complexity, this is very much a hands-on role, this is not the role for someone who likes to delegate tasks.
This is a highly visible role suited to a technically strong and commercially astute finance leader who thrives in fast-paced, transformation-focused environments.
