FINANCIAL ACCOUNTANT | TREASURY

The Financial Accountant for Treasury is responsible for supporting the financial control, analysis and reporting of foreign exchange impacts arising from commodity and FX hedging and all cash-related activities.  It is responsible for delivering the month-end GL close within Treasury whilst also taking the lead in overseeing the integrity of the financial ledgers that support the Treasury function, working with multiply stakeholders across the business and external auditors.

As a UK based company with revenues largely in Sterling, but a cost base largely denominated in foreign currencies, the TUI UK&I businesses inherently create a significant commodity price and foreign exchange rate risk that needs to be actively managed, controlled and reported on a regular basis, to avoid foreign exchange exposures that can have a material impact on the UK&I business and ultimately the group. 

The role is based in Luton, but at TUI we believe work is something you do not somewhere you go therefore we are happy to offer flexible working arrangements for this role and the successful candidate would be required to attend the office once a week on average.  Please note the closing date for applications is 30th June and this is a maternity cover opportunity for up to 12 months.
