The role
Throughout 2017 the business has been moving to a new Finance Operating model including the establishment of IFS with services delivered from 3 regional centres in Kuala Lumpur, Costa Rica and Warsaw.

This is anticipated to involve ongoing transitions both into and out of IFS and GFO as well as the transition of activities between centres. With the introduction of GBS there will also be a need to manage transitions for new services potentially wider than the Finance function.
