Head of Finance SSC

Finance Manager Poland & Head of Finance Shared Services Warsaw

Your new company Hays is partnering with an international renewable energy company that is growing from a development-and-sales model into a multi-country owner and operator of energy assets. To support this growth, the company is building a Finance Shared Service Centre in Warsaw. It will bring accounting in-house from an external provider and take on finance processes for several European countries.

Your new role This hands-on role combines two jobs: leading finance for Poland and building a new SSC.

• You'll own the close, statutory reporting, local GAAP and IFRS alignment, audits, and VAT and tax compliance for the Polish entities.
• You'll move Polish accounting in-house from the external accounting firm while keeping the business running smoothly.
• You'll design and launch the SSC, including its operating model, governance, SLAs, KPIs and controls.
• You'll lead the migration of finance processes from other European countries into the SSC.
• You'll build and lead the team from day one, covering AP, AR, General Accounting, R2R and Financial Controllers.
• You'll standardise and automate processes using IFS and OneStream.

What you'll need to succeed

• 10+ years of finance experience, including a senior role such as Head of SSC or Head of Finance.
• Experience in renewable energy, infrastructure, construction, real estate or other project- and asset-intensive industry.
• A proven record of building or scaling an SSC or GBS, including process transformation and migration.
• Strong knowledge of Polish accounting, tax and VAT, plus a working understanding of IFRS.
• A professional qualification such as ACCA, CPA, a Polish certified accountant licence or statutory auditor status. An audit background is welcome.
• Experience recruiting and developing teams in a changing environment.
• Fluent Polish and English.
• Nice to have: experience in project finance and in insourcing work from accounting firms.

What you'll get in return

• A rare greenfield chance to build an SSC from scratch while leading country finance.
• A strategic role in a fast-growing, multi-country renewable energy business.
• An attractive salary and annual bonus.
• A Warsaw-based role with high visibility to the international finance leadership team.
