The Role
- Driving the division's financial performance, including achievement of financial objectives, and providing clear insight into performance and the actions required to improve it.
- Owning financial strategy for the division and ensuring sound, well-evidenced decision-making across all major commercial activity.
- Partnering the divisional Managing Director and senior leadership team as a trusted advisor on commercial agenda delivery and broader organisational objectives.
- Leading or supporting significant transactions including major contracts, partnerships, joint ventures, and M&A activity.
- Sponsoring or co-leading change and restructuring programmes across the division.
- Ensuring a rigorous financial control and assurance environment, including accurate balance sheet management, policy compliance, and statutory reporting.
- Contributing actively to the development of the broader Finance function, including global policy formulation and finance transformation.

- A highly experienced finance leader with a demonstrable record in commercial or business partnering roles at Board level.
- Proven ability to operate effectively across a complex, international business, including management of multi-site, cross-border teams.
- Strong commercial judgement and the confidence to make informed, impactful business recommendations and challenge constructively at the most senior levels.
- A trusted advisor profile: able to build effective relationships and exert influence across an organisation without relying on hierarchical authority.
- Experience of leading or contributing to significant transactions or strategic initiatives such as M&A, partnerships, or major restructuring programmes.
- A collaborative, inclusive leadership style with a proactive, change-oriented mindset.
- Relevant professional finance qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
