job context & key challenges

The EMEA market is a mature and complex operation with a number of different markets with a combined revenue target of [~$1.1bn] and trading profit of [~$0.4bn]. The role will need to work closely with the CFO EMEA as a peer, ensuring that any commercial initiatives and imperatives are understood and reacted to whilst at the same time, ensuring the integrity and quality of the financial controls landscape. This may lead to challenge and potential disagreement but it is important that the European Controller is both robust but also pragmatic when allowed to be so. The role requires the ability to operate within a service management landscape where a large proportion of services are delivered by resources outside of the direct management of the EMEA Controller and this requires both good vendor management capability and consequently the ability to drive excellence in performance and service delivery. The EMEA Controller is responsible for the delivery of improving performance across a range of key KPI’s and Service Delivery metrics. These will cover both qualitative and quantitative measures and will in some cases be linked to formalised Service Level agreements. The EMEA Controller has primary responsibility for the management and operation of key Financial Controls within the region including all elements of SOX (where applicable) as well as MAP’s (Minimum Acceptable Procedures) and other ad hoc controls as required. The role is also responsible for ensuring all actions coming from internal and external audits are addressed and actions put in place to close outstanding points. The EMEA Controller is responsible for identifying and developing talent, leading and driving change initiatives and helping shape the future direction of the organisation.
