Group Finance Controller

Work where work matters.

We are a global technology group built for what's next, offering high calibre professionals the platform for high stakes work, the kind of work that defines an entire career. When you join us, you're not just taking on projects, you're solving problems that don't even have answers yet.

You will join an exclusive roster of talent that global leaders, including Google, Snap, Diageo, PayPal, and Jaguar Land Rover call when deadlines seem impossible, when others have already tried and failed, and when the solution absolutely has to work.



Forget routine consultancy. You will operate where technology, design, and human behaviour meet to deliver tangible outcomes, fast. This is work that leaves a mark, work you’ll be proud to tell your friends about.

We are looking for a Group Finance Controller to lead group-level financial control, statutory reporting and consolidation across the business. You will ensure the accuracy and integrity of the Group’s financial reporting, maintain a robust control environment, and ensure compliance with relevant accounting and regulatory requirements. As a key partner to the CFO, you will lead the technical accounting function and play a critical role in ensuring the quality of the financial information that supports Board and investor decision-making.

We look for people who embody:

Innovation to solve the hardest problems.

‍Accountability for every result.
