We’re looking for a Group Financial Controller to join Moonpig Group in a significant senior Finance leadership role. You’ll lead a broad portfolio spanning external reporting, tax, treasury, sustainability, governance, controls, risk and finance transformation, with regular exposure to our Executive team, Audit Committee and Board.
