- Significantly influence and guide the financial oversight vision and roadmap for the Group, including evaluating opportunities for standardization and automation.
- Review the testing of key controls and ensure that appropriate recommendations for enhancements are implemented to maintain a 'no surprises' environment.
- Deliver tailored training, guidance, and advice to both finance and non-finance teams, emphasizing the importance of financial oversight in their respective areas to ensure controls are integrated.
- Manage the Finance Risk Register, Controls Self Certification, and related validations of Financial Oversight and Financial Risks on the Fraud Risk Assessment.
- Prepare and present papers to committees on Financial Oversight matters.
- Create control metrics to monitor the control environment for end-to-end processes through a Financial Oversight Dashboard.
- Oversee the team's preparation, review, and presentation of the monthly Financial Oversight KPI pack.
- Encourage early involvement of the Financial Oversight team in process changes to identify weaknesses and design necessary controls to mitigate risks.

- Assurance Qualification (CIA/ CMIIA or equivalent).
