Senior Finance Manager – Financial Control & Operations
We are looking for an experienced Senior Finance Manager – Financial Control & Operations to lead our global financial control and finance operations function.
Reporting to the VP Finance, this is a senior, hands-on leadership role responsible for ensuring the integrity, accuracy and scalability of our financial operations across multiple entities and jurisdictions.

You will also play an important role in strengthening processes, systems and controls as the business continues to scale and integrate acquired businesses.
This role is ideal for someone who combines strong technical accounting and controllership experience with a practical, operational mindset — someone who can operate independently, solve problems, improve processes and build a high-performing finance function.
