• Lead entity structuring, deciding between local operating companies and SPVs for asset holding
• Implement FX hedging, cash pooling and ALM to match debt maturities with lease tenors
• Co-lead the monthly S&OP "lock" and approve open-to-buy budgets, oversee pricing and residual value analysis
• Monitor covenants in real time, ensure IFRS/SFRS lease accounting compliance, manage the finance director and oversee regulatory reporting

Required profile

• 12+ years of progressive finance experience, including as a CFO, Deputy CFO or Head of Finance in a high-growth, capital-intensive business

• IFRS / SFRS, especially lease accounting and revenue recognition
• Strong communication with investors, lenders, auditors and regulators
