Description

Lead the Numbers. Influence the Strategy. Make a Difference.

If you're a commercially-minded finance professional looking for a role where your insight shapes performance - not just reports on it - this could be the move for you.

We're looking for someone who wants to get closer to operations, challenge the numbers, and work as a true partner to the business. This role gives you the opportunity to influence decisions, drive profitability, and be the financial voice in strategic conversations across a high-performing portfolio.

What you'll be doing:
  • Lead the budgeting process - working alongside the Business Analyst and on-site operational teams to build accurate and meaningful financial plans
  • Oversee and approve weekly management accounts - ensuring all results are accurate, reviewed, and agreed in partnership with the Finance Business Partner
  • Challenge performance and improve profitability - by digging into KPI results and working directly with Account Directors and site teams to drive better outcomes
  • Own client-facing reporting - producing insightful KPI dashboards and performance packs for monthly and quarterly review meetings
  • Deliver meaningful financial insight - not just reports, but real analysis that supports smarter decision-making across the business
  • Ensure accurate billing - overseeing timely and correct invoicing across the portfolio
  • Play a key role in contract renewals - contributing to commercial presentations and financial models for ICAP and renewal processes

Profile

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, thrives on responsibility, and wants to see the impact of their work beyond the spreadsheets. You'll be a key part of the finance voice in a fast-paced, commercially driven environment - where your opinion counts and your insight drives performance.

If you're ready to step into a role that offers more than routine month-end, we'd love to hear from you.

Job Offer

When you join us, you're joining a business that genuinely values its people and rewards hard work. We're passionate about creating an environment where you can grow your skills, feel recognised, and enjoy coming to work each day.

You'll receive a competitive benefits package, including:

  • Generous annual leave - with the option to buy extra holiday for the things that matter most

  • Pension and life assurance for peace of mind

  • Access to a brilliant employee benefits platform - with discounts on everything from gym memberships to high street shopping, travel, and hospitality

We believe in looking after our team - both professionally and personally. So if you're ready to be part of one of the world's leading logistics providers and want to work in a place where your contribution truly counts, we'd love to hear from you.
