• Develop relations and plans with our external statutory auditors, including the interim, hard close, and year-end audit processes.
• Actively work with the business and associated finance business partners, supporting the Improvement Journey to Process Excellence and proactively engaging in improvement activities.
• Lead and develop the functional risk process to ensure that finance is compliant and integrated with Submarines and the wider finance function.
• Lead and develop the functional business continuity and sustainability plans.

What we are looking for:

At Rolls-Royce, we embrace agility, are bold, pursue collaboration, and seek simplicity in everything we do. These principles form our values and behaviours and are essential components of our assessment process and fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

• Experience of running a finance team & development.
• Implementation of improvement track record.
