The role

Job Ref ID: JR0087011

Our goal is to provide an on-demand delivery infrastructure for every city in the world, and trusted financial reporting is what keeps that engine scalable. As Senior Controller, you will be a key individual contributor in the Reporting & Controlling team, within Accounting & Reporting. You will help ensure the timeliness and quality of Glovo's financial reporting to Delivery Hero, and support the strengthening of the control environment around the financial close.

What you'll do

  • Support the global month-end close and the monthly reporting to Delivery Hero (TB, KPIs and FTEs), helping meet deadlines and quality standards through ruthless prioritisation on materiality, processes and disclosures.

  • Review the IFRS financial statements of Glovo subsidiaries and group-level consolidation, investigating and correcting inconsistencies before they reach stakeholders.

  • Support the design and implementation of controls over the financial close using a risk and control matrix approach, working towards realistic milestones and phased rollouts.

  • Collaborate with corporate and local accounting teams on month-end close and control gaps. Work through root-cause analysis together, map process gaps, support the design of improved processes and help implement them, rather than pointing out errors and handing them back.

  • Contribute to RACI design and to embedding the redesigned processes, helping ensure controls are in place to verify they operate as intended.

  • Support projects on presentation and disclosure, IFRS treatment of reporting standards, and the ongoing refinement of our reporting tool (OneStream), as well as HQ-led cross-accounting initiatives such as IFRS, ERP and reporting package implementations.

  • Act as a day-to-day point of contact for accounting and finance colleagues, including local finance teams, the Finance Performance team and Delivery Hero, on financial reporting matters.
