About the role

We have an excellent opportunity for a qualified (we’d accept either part or newly qualified) accountant to join our Reporting and Accounting team in our head office in Edinburgh in a newly created role. The position involves helping to add value by way of review, challenge, analysis and financial control while working closely with the Pubs reporting team. Working within Reporting and Accounting you’ll have exposure to and be responsible for elements of period end close activities, helping on associated internal and external audits, assisting with performance of financial reporting controls and other associated ad hoc tasks. Following the recent implementation of our new ERP system, the role will be responsible for designing and establishing new best practice processes and documentation to ensure the integrity, cleanliness and robustness of financial data to deliver a successful transition whilst embedding these into core business procedures.

You’ll be a key person and coordination point for the accounting processes performed by the Pubs finance team based in Edinburgh, and you’ll also business partner with other internal teams such as Process Control and Improvement, Internal Audit and Digital and Technology. Extensive collaboration with the external auditors will also be required. This is an exciting period of change across the finance function as it supports Heineken’s ongoing Global Digital Backbone project, and you’ll be joining a hard working team in a fast paced environment that continually challenges the status quo.
