As a trusted advisor to the business, you will develop strong relationships with Operational Directors, budget holders and senior stakeholders, ensuring finance is embedded at the heart of decision-making. You'll help leaders understand the financial impact of operational decisions, identify risks and opportunities, and provide the analysis needed to support sustainable growth and commercial success.

• Budgeting and forecasting: Working closely with operational teams to lead annual budgeting and regular forecasting activities, providing clear financial insight that supports both short and long-term planning.
• Performance analysis: Analysing operational and commercial performance, using financial data and key performance indicators to identify trends, challenge assumptions and drive improvements.
• Revenue and cost management: Working closely with commercial and Billable Works teams to ensure revenues, costs and work in progress are accurately reflected within the financial accounts.
• Billing and cash collection: Helping to drive effective billing and cash collection, identifying issues early, supporting commercial discussions and ensuring strong cash performance across the contract.
• Business initiatives: Contributing to wider business initiatives, including bids, mobilisation activities, business cases and change programmes, providing financial modelling, analysis and commercial support where required.
• Reporting and analysis: Producing ad hoc reporting and strategic analysis to support business planning and investment decisions.
• Leadership involvement: Attending leadership meetings, influencing decision-making and providing constructive challenge where appropriate.
• Relationship building: Building strong relationships with external stakeholders, including auditors and advisers, while ensuring financial reporting remains accurate, compliant and delivered in line with group requirements.
• Continuous improvement: Opportunities to streamline financial processes, improve reporting, introduce greater automation and strengthen financial governance across the business.
• Team leadership: Leading, coaching and developing members of the finance team, supporting their professional growth while ensuring high standards of performance.
