business continues to scale effectively. As CFO, you will lead a high-performing
finance and commercial team while serving as a trusted advisor to both UK and

performance and maintain a robust control environment.
Key Responsibilities:

• Drive business planning, forecasting and performance management.
• Support operational and commercial decision-making through robust financial
insight.
• Enhance cash generation, working capital and financial controls.
• Develop finance capability and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
• Build scalable processes and governance to support future growth.
• Partner closely with the President, UK & Europe and Global Finance
Leadership.
Required Qualifications & Experience:
• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Proven track record in senior financial leadership within a complex,
growth-oriented organisation.
• Ability to combine strategic thinking with a hands-on approach.
• Comfortable operating at executive and board level.
• Experience within facilities management, engineering services, construction
services, or other contract-led service environments is highly desirable.
• Exposure to global reporting structures and organisations experiencing
significant growth is advantageous.
Additional Information:
This is a unique opportunity to join a successful and growing business at a key
stage in its evolution. The successful candidate will help shape the financial
strategy of the UK business, contribute directly to growth ambitions, and work
alongside an experienced executive leadership team within a global organisation.
At BGIS, we are committed to diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity. We
strive to maintain a barrier-free recruitment process and welcome applications
from individuals of all backgrounds. #BGISUK #LI-JC2
