London, United Kingdom Nando’s Chickenland Limited Full time

Salary up to: Competitive

**A bit about us...**
Ask people where Nando’s comes from and you’ll get a different answer every time. Portugal? Mexico? The UK? Our story actually starts in Rosettenville, a Portuguese neighbourhood in Johannesburg, South Africa. With stops in Mozambique and the UK along the way.

It was 1987 and Robbie Brozin and Fernando Duarte opened their first chicken restaurant. Then another. And then another. Fast forward five years and Nando’s landed in the UK. Now, with over 460 restaurants (and counting), our PERi-PERi is a bestselling hot sauce and Nando’s has become as big a part of culture as drinking tea.

We’ve got a growing family of 20,000 Nandocas (what we call our employees), fuelled by our values: Pride, Passion, Integrity, Courage and Family. We care as much about them as we do our legendary, flame-grilled PERi-PERi - because it’s the people that make the chicken.

Inspired by our Southern African heritage, we know and value the richness diversity brings. So we're committed to creating an inclusive and respectful culture for all. We’ve even been recognised as one of the industry leaders by the Financial Times.

**About the role**:
Finance transformation covers strategic initiatives aimed at re-envisioning the finance function to align with the overall company strategy. Finance transformation may consist of restructuring and implementation of the finance operating model; accounting and finance processes; financial capabilities; and re-platforming of finance and accounting systems.

Working closely with the finance and tech teams, the Finance Transformation Lead will drive process and system improvements that will enable the finance team to evolve and improve in terms of compliance, efficiency, accuracy, and generation of insight.

- Deliver solutions to improve ability to meet reporting obligations and empower staff to make better business decisions
- Deliver, plan, implement and embed finance change deliverables globally
- Develop a global finance systems strategy, including stock replacement and value for money prioritisation on finance investments

- Lead initiatives and projects to ensure effective delivery of finance transformation globally
- Support troubleshooting to support BAU
- Standardization and streamlining process across the finance team
- Provide commercial insight, financial expertise, simplification and standardisation of systems and processes globally

**Hot skills...**
- Qualified accountant with 5 years + post qualified experience, gained within Hospitality, Retail or FMCG sectors

- Able to manage own time and operate without close supervision
- A culture with strong purpose & values, intent on contributing to / driving positive cultural and societal change
- An opportunity to redefine the role that the finance team plays in the organisation
- Involvement in a variety of projects rather than repetitive work in a business which encourages creativity and evolution rather than a set approach.
