  • Year-End Excellence: Prepare year-end schedules and liaise with external auditors to meet agreed deadlines.
  • Cross-Functional Support: Provide cover for Morocco, Spain, and other entities as needed, ensuring seamless operations across the group.
  • Payroll Oversight: Review monthly payroll processing by third-party providers and guide the weekly payroll team.
  • Champion Process Improvements: Take an active role in developing and implementing improved financial information systems and processes, driving continuous transformation.
  • Be a Visionary: Align with and contribute to the Finance Department’s vision, ensuring SMART targets are met and personal growth is achieved.

The ideal candidate will be a forward-thinking individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
