This is a highly visible leadership position where you'll be expected to influence decisions, challenge thinking, identify opportunities and help the business execute its strategic ambitions. This role offers the opportunity to operate at the heart of one of the world's most recognised consumer brands, partnering with senior leaders across Finance, Commercial, IT, HR and Operations.

Experience working in a fast-paced, complex and changing environment. Experience across international markets and multi-jurisdiction businesses would be advantageous, as would exposure to business transformation, turnaround or growth environments.

The scale is significant, the problems are highly complex at this stage, and the impact is direct - the solutions you build will influence how trillions of dollars in transactions flow daily, how regulatory risk is managed, and how Citi's operational infrastructure evolves over the next decade.Unlike a role at a pure-play technology company, you will be solving AI challenges where failure has regulatory and systemic consequence - and where success reshapes the economics and resilience of critical global operations.

What We're Looking For You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with significant experience operating in a senior commercial finance leadership role. You'll bring: A proven track record of commercial finance leadership within retail, ecommerce, wholesale or consumer-facing businesses. Strong business partnering experience with executive and senior leadership teams. Exceptional commercial acumen and the ability to translate numbers into action. Experience leading, coaching and developing high-performing teams. Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills. The confidence to challenge constructively and drive better business decisions. Strong communication skills with the ability to distil complex issues into clear, concise recommendations. Experience working in a fast-paced, complex and changing environment. Experience across international markets and multi-jurisdiction businesses would be advantageous, as would exposure to business transformation, turnaround or growth environments. Who Will Succeed Here? The successful candidate will be more than a technically strong finance professional. You'll be a visible leader, trusted advisor and natural relationship builder. You'll have the credibility to influence at senior levels, the commercial mindset to focus on what matters most, and the resilience to thrive in a dynamic business environment. Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys being close to the business, understands how organisations create value, and can help turn financial insight into commercial outcomes. Why Clarks? This is a rare opportunity to join a globally recognised brand at a key point in its transformation journey. You'll work directly with senior leaders, shape commercial decisions across multiple markets, and have a genuine opportunity to influence the future success of the business. If you're a commercially driven finance leader looking for a role with visibility, impact and strategic influence, we'd love to hear from you. UK HQ, 40 High Street, Street, Somerset, United Kingdom
