Our Real Estate team is expanding, and we are now looking for an experienced Finance Transformation Lead to join our growing Real Estate function at EG Group Following the series of acquisitions made in recent years, the company has embarked on a programme of transformation.

With two regions already successfully under its belt, the business is now lined up to move onto the single SAP platform setting the stage for the second part of the transformation. The second part of the transformation programme is to both standardise and continuously improve process and controls, enabled in part by the standardised SAP ERP platform.

Coach and educate the team on best practice relating to operating Fixed Assets related processes.
Create strong relationships with other members of the Finance team and business stakeholders at all levels to gain their trust and be a credible partner in helping them improve ways of working.
Drive standardisation to ensure that as far as possible all changes are implemented globally in a standardised way.
Where appropriate, work on future acquisitions (and divestments) made by EG Group and provide support in ensuring new acquisitions adopt standard processes as defined by the role holder and EG Finance.
