About the role
MMD Steel Group is looking for a Finance Head for West Africa. You carry finance across several country operations rather than one plant: consolidated reporting, controls that hold in every entity, and the finance leadership each country team leans on.
What you will do
- Own consolidated reporting for the West Africa entities and the quality of what each country submits.
- Set and enforce one accounting policy, one chart of accounts and one closing calendar across the countries in scope.
- Review country results with the general managers: margin, cost per tonne, working capital and cash.
- Lead budgeting and forecasting for the region and defend the numbers with group management.
- Strengthen internal control across purchasing, stores, payments and inventory, and close audit findings for good.
- Develop the country finance heads and their teams, and step in where an entity needs hands-on support.
What you bring
- Qualified accountant with ten or more years of experience, including a multi-entity or regional role.
- Manufacturing or heavy industry background, with genuine cost accounting depth.
- Experience holding a standard together across countries with different local rules.
- English and French.
Where you will work
West Africa, based in one of the group's operating countries, with regular travel to the plants.
