- International Compliance: Own the finance calendar, prepare supporting schedules, coordinate advisers and retain evidence of filings and payments
- Investor Reporting: Prepare financial packs, forecasts and due-diligence materials that reconcile to the underlying records

- Experience with Stripe, international payroll platforms, Jordan/GCC operations and checked use of AI or automation is valuable
- CPA, ACCA, CMA, JCPA or a comparable qualification is an advantage
