• Lead with transformation: Partner with the GBS RTR Director at HQ to drive the Global Finance Transformation Agenda, embedding new ways of working, digital tools, and automation.
• Oversee end-to-end RTR operations, ensuring accuracy and timeliness of close, and support for statutory and US audits.
• Manage the transition of new processes into the COE, ensuring smooth onboarding and successful stabilization.
• Champion process harmonisation, standardisation, and automation — driving efficiency gains and improving KPIs across global markets.
• Use technology (SAP, Blackline, RPA, AI/ML) to re-imagine RTR delivery and create best-in-class solutions.
• Act as a business partner to global stakeholders, providing insights, foresight, and governance beyond transactional support.
• Coach and develop a team of people managers to lead with agility, resilience, and a transformation mindset.
• Serve as the final escalation point for complex accounting challenges, ensuring pragmatic and globally aligned resolutions.

• Ability to manage ambiguity and lead teams confidently through change
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills across levels and cultures
• A problem solver who is equally comfortable designing new solutions and running stable operations
