Legend is looking for an experienced Group Head of Finance to lead and transform our international finance function through its next stage of maturity.
Reporting to the Finance Director, you will lead a 25+ person, multi-location team spanning Financial Reporting, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Treasury and Payroll. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring someone who can operate comfortably at both strategic and detailed levels: setting the direction for the function while stepping into complex operational and technical challenges when required.
Following Legend's acquisition, the finance function is operating in an environment of increased complexity, scrutiny and change. A key part of your role will be evolving the finance operating model to meet these demands: strengthening controls and accountability, standardising and automating processes, improving systems and data flows, and building a scalable organisation that does not rely on individual knowledge or intervention.
You will lead through an established team of finance leaders, developing their capability and creating clear ownership across the function while maintaining high standards of delivery. You will also play a critical role in building effective relationships across Legend and the wider Group, balancing the requirements of both while supporting the team through significant organisational change.
This role would suit an experienced finance leader who is energised by transformation and ambiguity and has a track record of leaving finance functions materially more scalable, controlled and effective than they found them.
Unlock your full potential by joining the Legend team. To support you on this journey, we provide an extensive array of benefits and perks, as outlined in our global offerings above. For country specific benefits please reach out to your talent partner.
Lead a 25+ person, multi-location finance function across Financial Reporting, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Treasury and Payroll, creating clear accountability and ownership through the finance leadership team.
Assess and evolve the finance operating model, ensuring organisational structure, process ownership, systems, controls and ways of working can scale with the business and wider Group requirements.
Lead end-to-end redesign and optimisation of core finance processes and systems, identifying opportunities to standardise, simplify and automate workflows while improving efficiency, controls and data quality.
Establish clear process ownership, SLAs, controls and KPIs, using data to identify performance gaps, bottlenecks and opportunities for continuous improvement.
Lead through managers and team leads, building their capability and empowering them to take ownership while remaining hands-on in complex operational and technical issues when required.
Lead the finance function through post-acquisition integration, balancing the requirements of Legend and Group Finance and driving alignment across reporting, controls, systems, data and ways of working.
Make clear prioritisation and resource allocation decisions across BAU delivery and transformation initiatives, maintaining critical operations while progressing the highest-value improvements.
Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across Legend and the wider Group, confidently challenging where appropriate and translating complex financial or operational issues into clear business implications and decisions.
