**++About the Role++**

The Consolidations \& Reporting Manager is responsible for building, owning, and continuously improving the Group consolidation and external reporting function.

This is a hands‑on leadership role with a strong technical accounting foundation, significant exposure to auditors, and close day‑to‑day interaction with FP\&A and local finance teams across the Group.
