About the Role
We are looking for a Group Finance Controls Analyst to help strengthen and evolve how financial controls operate across IAG Loyalty. You will combine your understanding of financial controls with data, systems, and technology to move towards smarter, more proactive ways of working. This role involves identifying risks earlier, improving accuracy, and preventing problems before they occur by analyzing financial data and exploring automation, analytics, and AI.
Responsibilities
- Help strengthen and continuously improve our Group financial control framework, identifying opportunities to move from manual checks towards more automated and preventative controls.
- Develop a strong understanding of our SAP Finance environment, exploring how existing system functionality and automation can improve controls, data quality and processes.
- Analyze SAP and other financial data to identify trends, exceptions and emerging risks, helping us understand where improvements are needed.
- Build and improve Finance datasets, dashboards and monitoring processes that provide greater visibility of financial controls and make reporting more efficient.
- Explore, test and help implement opportunities to use automation, analytics and AI to improve how financial risks are identified and managed.
- Investigate recurring control issues and data discrepancies, identifying root causes and recommending practical solutions through systems, processes or automation.
- Work with Finance and Technology colleagues to ensure financial control and reporting requirements are considered when implementing or changing systems.
- Support Group financial control policies, standards and governance, alongside wider Finance initiatives and projects.
- Collaborate with stakeholders across Finance and the business, translating data and control insights into clear recommendations and improvements.
- Identify opportunities to simplify processes, reduce manual work and strengthen the accuracy and reliability of financial information.
Requirements
- Experience working within Finance, financial controls, audit or a similar environment, with a good understanding of financial control principles.
- A solid understanding of financial accounting processes, including journals, reconciliations and balance sheet controls.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work with financial data, identify trends, investigate discrepancies and recommend improvements.
- Experience using SAP or another ERP system, with an interest in understanding how Finance systems can improve controls and data quality.
- A genuine interest in technology, automation and AI, with the curiosity to explore how these can solve real Finance challenges.
- A proactive and improvement-focused mindset, with the confidence to question existing processes and look for better ways of working.
- Strong attention to detail, with the ability to identify risks, understand root causes and maintain high standards of accuracy.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across Finance and other business areas.
- A willingness to learn and develop new technical skills, particularly in data analysis, reporting and automation.
