Develop finance capability and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
Build scalable processes and governance to support future growth.
Partner closely with the President, UK & Europe and Global Finance Leadership.

Required Qualifications & Experience:

Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
Proven track record in senior financial leadership within a complex, growth-oriented organisation.
Ability to combine strategic thinking with a hands-on approach.
Comfortable operating at executive and board level.
Experience within facilities management, engineering services, construction services, or other contract-led service environments is highly desirable.
Exposure to global reporting structures and organisations experiencing significant growth is advantageous.

Additional Information:

This is a unique opportunity to join a successful and growing business at a key stage in its evolution. The successful candidate will help shape the financial strategy of the UK business, contribute directly to growth ambitions, and work alongside an experienced executive leadership team within a global organisation.
