This will involve the migration of finance processes, systems, controls and reporting activities from legacy entities onto Kinly platforms, alongside the orderly wind-down of legacy processes and systems.

We are seeking an experienced finance integration professional to lead the key transition activities during a critical period and you will assume ownership of responsibilities currently held by departing finance personnel, ensure effective knowledge transfer, maintain business continuity, and support the successful delivery of integration objectives across multiple international entities.

Entity Management

• Maintain oversight of Irish finance operations until transition and lead finance migration activities during Q3 2026

• Support the APAC Finance Director with planning and execution activities relating to the transition of the Indian entity

• Ensure continuity of financial operations throughout all transition phases

Stakeholder Management

• Work closely with US-based teams to access system knowledge and technical support relating to IFS

• Coordinate activities across finance, operations and business leadership teams to ensure successful delivery of integration objectives

• Escalate risks, issues and dependencies proactively to the Group Financial Controller

Governance and Improvement
