With exposure to around £400m of Rent and Rates and £500m of capital budgets, you’ll work closely with Finance Business Partners and Property teams to strengthen financial planning, improve cost management and identify opportunities for savings and efficiencies. If you enjoy getting beneath the numbers, solving business problems and using insight to influence decisions, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.

What you'll be doing

Deliver accurate, commercially focused reporting and insight, analysing performance against budget and forecast, understanding key variances and translating complex financial information into clear recommendations for senior stakeholders.

Build strong partnerships across the business and with external providers, to provide constructive challenge, improve financial control and support better decision-making.

Drive improvements in processes, reporting and efficiency, identifying opportunities to automate and standardise reporting, improve capital cash-flow visibility, strengthen the asset lifecycle process and track delivery of Everyday Efficiency savings.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
