Head of Operational Finance
Salary: £65-90K plus excellent benefits
Hanslope Park, Milton Keynes
Find a role that means more, for you and for the nation. When you join FCO Services, you’ll be part of a global business that works to defend the UK’s interests around the world. We do that by providing mission-critical services to all kinds of government-level customers, offering everything from embassy construction to secure tech solutions that keep a nation’s data safe.
It’s complex work across a worldwide network, but no matter the scope of the projects we work on, it’s vital that we maintain our operational excellence. It’s what helps us serve our customers and protect national security. And maintaining those high standards is where you come in.
As our new Head of Operational Finance, you’ll help grow our newly restructured Business Services group comprised of HR, Finance, Procurement & Supply Chain, together, these essential services work to ensure the smooth running of our whole business, reducing costs, improving efficiency, and finding new and innovative ways to deliver our services.
Turn your financial plans into a worldwide vision
At this juncture in our history, we’re looking for someone with the skill and insight to define the financial strategy of a complex organisation. Working on a global stage, you’ll use your vision to take us from strength to strength. It’s a rare challenge, but one for which you’re exceptionally well equipped – because you know that turning strategy into reality takes more than just technical brilliance. It takes a passion for change, and the energy to help others understand and share in your drive.
Guide the finances of services that safeguard nations
Of course, it goes without saying that the efficient running of our business needs someone with a firm grip on our financial strategy. Your best-in-class approach to budgeting and planning will provide us with sharp analysis and insightful forecasting models. You’ll improve governance, reduce risk, revolutionise how we operate – and you’ll do it all with consummate skill, experience, and a rigorous attention to detail.
Use your passion for people to protect populations
Simply put, you’re a people person. This isn’t just about the finances for you. It’s about taking a genuine interest in our organisation, seeing the wider picture, and supporting every team in every way you can. Your plans for our future success are fundamentally tied to making life better for your colleagues, so that they can deliver for our customers. Some days, your role will mean working with the MD of Business Services to drive long-term financial sustainability. Other days, it’ll mean acting as an internal financial consultant to whichever team might need your advice. And you’ll take it all on with equal enthusiasm, championing continuous improvement wherever you go. And when you do, you’ll ensure the long term financial stability of a business that protects people, assets and information, every day.
All our employees have to be security cleared to the highest level, so you will need to undergo a comprehensive vetting process before joining.
Closing date: 04 June 2017 at midnight.
It takes a difference to make a difference. Protecting our customers’ physical assets, data, and people right around the world. That’s the job, and it takes all kinds of different people to do it. People with different talents, different ideas and different ways of looking at the world. That diversity is what makes FCO Services such an inspiring organisation to be part of. And it’s why, if you want to make a difference here, you’ll need to bring something different too.
