This strategic Finance Leader job, reporting to the Associate Director of Finance in Galway, gives you the opportunity to work with Finance Managers to bring a strategic mindset, process implementation, system integration and influencing skills to this newly created job. If you have worked in a shared services environment, or a Big 4 firm in advisory or global mobility services, or you have experience implementing payroll processes at scale and you want to work with one of the largest employers in the West of Ireland then this is the ideal job for you. You will get director level visibility in a publically listed company where you can progress your career at both site level or work on global projects from their Galway base. You will collaborate and influence leaders across the business to achieve operational excellence in finance processes and procedures. You will lead a talented team of 4 who process payroll for over 4,000 Irish based employees fully in-house to an exceptionally high standard. You will add value by helping them document their processes, create SOPs and integrate their best-in-class systems to streamline the weekly and monthly payroll process. You will have no responsibility for processing payroll, your role is to be a strategic leader who can identify efficient ways to deliver high-quality payroll and you will influence across the organisation to make this happen. You will be fully supported by IT and Operations Excellence teams to integrate systems and report to Finance Director level who themselves are passionate about this initiative. You will add technical value also through your experience as a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) on areas such as intercompany recharges to foreign entities or from your employment tax or global mobility experience to support the team on technical matters.
