About The Role
We're hiring a
Director, Financial Control to act as the key link between Finance and the wider business, ensuring local financial, statutory, operational, and tax requirements are aligned with group reporting and control standards.
This role sits within
Accounting and Reporting and reports to the
VP Accounting Operations. You will serve as the regional finance lead, partnering closely with
Group Accounting, Tax, Finance Operations, as well as operational and commercial teams. Rather than directly managing centralised A/P and A/R processes, you will bring strong local statutory expertise and help connect regional realities with global finance processes.
This is a highly visible opportunity in a high-growth AI infrastructure business, requiring sound judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to influence across functions without direct authority. Your work will be critical in building scalable, robust financial processes that support rapid growth while maintaining strong governance, compliance, and reporting integrity.

- Manage local statutory reporting and compliance requirements, including local GAAP, tax, VAT/sales tax, and regulatory filings.
- Support alignment between local reporting requirements and group reporting standards under IFRS and/or US GAAP.
Controls, Audit, and Accounting Integrity
- Oversee the integrity of the general ledger, balance sheet reconciliations, and key financial controls.
- Coordinate and support external audits and local statutory audits, acting as the main point of contact for auditors where applicable.
- Ensure strong internal controls are in place and continuously strengthened as the business scales.
Business Partnership and Process Improvement
- Partner with operational teams to translate business activity into accurate financial treatment, including leases, revenue recognition, cost allocations, and capitalisation policies.
- Support budgeting and forecasting at a regional or cost-centre level alongside Finance Operations and operational leaders.
- Identify gaps between local operational realities and group processes, and proactively solve issues.
- Improve processes to enhance financial accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.
