• Ensure integration with Treasury (cash positions, intercompany loans), Tax (deferred tax and statutory reporting), and SAC (financial planning and analytics).

• Provide design authority across GL and consolidation workstreams, ensuring solution quality, compliance, and audit-readiness.

• Mentor consultants, review deliverables, and contribute to programme assurance documentation.

• Experience running financial close rehearsals and resolving reconciliation issues.
