Lead Financial Controller

Lead Financial Controller – Group Reporting & Controllership

As Lead Financial Controller, you will play a central role in ensuring the integrity, accuracy and timely delivery of group consolidation and financial reporting across a global organisation.

Working closely with senior finance leadership, you will act as a trusted sparring partner, helping create clarity across multiple priorities, maintain financial control, solve complex reporting challenges, and continuously improve how the team operates. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong accounting and reporting expertise with a hands-on mindset and enjoys balancing multiple stakeholders, reporting cycles, audit deadlines and competing priorities in a dynamic international environment.

We are not necessarily looking for an established senior people leader. Instead, we are seeking someone with the potential and ambition to grow into broader leadership responsibilities while already demonstrating strong ownership, coordination skills, and the ability to bring people together around shared goals.

At APM Terminals, we foster a dynamic learning and training culture that empowers our employees to excel. Our commitment to improvement means every team member has the opportunity to develop their skills and advance their careers by continuously refining how we work. Experience a diverse, multinational workplace where your operational insights directly influence how we work.

• Drive reporting quality, governance, automation, standardisation, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• What We Are Looking For

• Continuous improvement mindset: we are looking for someone who brings a thoughtful improvement mindset, curious about how work gets done and motivated to make meaningful, sustainable improvements over time.

• Leadership expectation: We are looking for people who consistently put customers first, lead by example with respect for people, deliver results with integrity, and drive continuous improvement by solving problems at the root, developing people, and raising standards every day.

• Proven experience in Financial Control, Group Reporting, Consolidation, and Accounting & Reporting.

• Strong applied knowledge of IFRS and experience managing month-end, quarter-end, and year-end reporting processes.

• Experience within a multinational reporting, consolidation or corporate finance environment

• Exposure to OneStream, Hyperion/HFM, SAP, Oracle or similar reporting environments
