Summary
At Booker, we’re strengthening the foundations that help our business run smoothly every day. Our Finance systems and controls are critical to that mission — and we’re looking for a Senior Product Manager who can bring structure, clarity and confidence to a complex and fast‑evolving landscape
As the Senior Product Manager for Finance & Controls, you’ll be responsible for building resilience, transparency and assurance across Booker’s Finance systems, processes and control environment. This role exists to close knowledge gaps, reduce key‑person dependency and create a well‑understood, well‑documented baseline at a time of significant technology change.
You will deep‑dive into end‑to‑end Finance processes, validating how controls operate in practice and focusing on the quality of control evidence and the integrity of key Finance outputs. Working with Finance stakeholders, the controls and compliance community, auditors and outsourced delivery partners, you’ll help shape a controlled, auditable and change‑ready Finance environment.
This is an individual contributor role, where you lead through expertise, structure and influence — bringing clarity where it’s needed most.
- Build and maintain a clear, documented baseline of Finance processes and controls, defining what “good” looks like and owning control narratives and audit‑ready evidence catalogues.
- Own the Finance controls change‑impact approach and remediation backlog, ensuring technology changes are appropriately assessed, controlled and evidenced.
- Work closely with Finance, compliance teams and auditors to clarify requirements and translate control expectations into practical process and system needs.
- Provide supplier assurance and constructive challenge to outsourced delivery partners, strengthening testing discipline, quality gates and evidence capture.
- Standardise and improve key control themes such as segregation of duties, privileged access, interface completeness/accuracy, change controls, payment controls and close/journal controls.
- Document key Finance interfaces and dependencies — including payments, bank integrations, Finance integrations and reporting flows — improving traceability and change safety
- Proven experience in product or domain leadership roles across complex, multi‑process Finance environments.
- Strong Finance systems knowledge, with a clear understanding of how end‑to‑end Finance processes operate in practice.
- Ability to translate complex Finance, policy and compliance requirements into clear process definitions, documentation and prioritised change.
- A strong controls mindset, with experience improving auditability, evidence quality and disciplined documentation.
- Confidence validating how things work in reality, using control evidence, process walkthroughs and data to inform decisions.
- Understanding of interface and dependency risks in Finance landscapes (e.g., reconciliations, completeness/accuracy, key reports), and the ability to challenge delivery partners effectively.
- Strong prioritisation, dependency management and outcome tracking skills, with a pragmatic and risk‑aware approach to trade‑offs.
- Excellent stakeholder communication and the ability to simplify complex topics for diverse audiences.
- Curiosity and ambition to broaden scope and ownership as the operating model evolves.
