More about the role
This role will establish and lead a newly created Transactional Finance function for Bally’s Intralot B2C. The Director will build a stand‑alone team, transitioning responsibilities currently managed through a North American shared service model, and will oversee the full scope of transactional finance operations including accounts payable, accounts receivable, vendor management, and cash reconciliations. The function will support steady‑state volumes of approximately 15,000+ invoices and 3,000+ reconciliations annually while maintaining high standards of accuracy, efficiency, and service.
In parallel, the Director will drive the modernisation of the function by delivering significant improvements in automation and introducing agentic AI across the invoice‑to‑pay and reconciliation lifecycle. The role will also establish and maintain a SOX‑grade control environment and serve as the accountable owner for transactional finance risk management and compliance across Bally’s Intralot B2C.
The role reports directly to the CFO and is part of the Finance leadership team.
