Everyone is welcome at M&S. No exceptions. It’s your background, abilities and differences that make you, uniquely you. And when you’re part of M&S, that individuality has the potential to make waves.
This section tells you all you need to know about the position and its responsibilities, outlining everything we hope to see in a successful candidate.
We are undertaking a major transformation of M&S Finance, moving from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA and rethinking how our core finance processes operate. We are looking for an experienced Group Reporting leader to own the future design and delivery of Consolidation, Group Reporting and External Reporting.
Use your listed-group reporting experience to shape how M&S consolidates, reports and governs its financial information for the future. You will lead a critical workstream within our SAP S/4HANA transformation, combining deep Group Reporting expertise with genuine influence over process, technology and ways of working.
This role would suit a proven Group Reporting Senior Manager from a FTSE 250, FTSE 100 or similarly complex listed group who wants to apply their experience in a different way. Rather than running another reporting cycle, you will shape the processes, controls and technology that will support M&S Finance for years to come.
To stay close to customers, our support teams are in the office three days a week as we believe that skills are developed through collaboration, and that spending time together makes us more creative and connected.

We're at our best when we're close to customers, and for many of us at M&S, that means working in store every day.
To stay close to customers, our support teams are in the office three days a week as we believe that skills are developed through collaboration, and that spending time together makes us more creative and connected. It also means we can solve problems as soon as they arise, learn and grow as a team, build trust, and get closer to our colleagues.
Your voice and your ideas matter here. Our 8 colleague networks are places to find support, listen to each other and encourage debate. You can pitch ideas ‘Straight to Stuart’, our CEO, or get involved in our BIG (Business involvement Group).
You’ll spend 7 days each year helping in store and getting closer to our customers. We also organise Insight Days, so you can learn more about specific business units, like Foods.
