The Group Financial Controller is the senior operational finance lead for the Group, responsible for ensuring accurate, timely, and decision-useful financial reporting, robust controls, and strong governance across Influencer's multi-entity, multi-currency structure. This is not a 'backward-looking' financial control role. You will sit at the centre of the business, embedding with regional and functional leaders, ensuring they clearly understand what they own financially, how performance is tracked, and how spend translates into outcomes. Reporting into the CFO, you will own the day-to-day integrity of the numbers, freeing up senior leadership to focus on growth, strategy, and transformation - while ensuring the foundations (reporting, cash, compliance, controls) are rock solid and scalable.
