Our client is delivering one of the most ambitious and nationally significant programmes in the UK - the Emergency Services Network (ESN). This vital initiative will provide mission-critical communications for the country's emergency services, ensuring resilience, performance, and coverage that will help save lives and protect communities.

As part of this commitment, the ESN Finance team plays a key role in supporting the delivery of the programme - partnering with delivery, service, and commercial teams to provide financial insight and ensure the successful achievement of financial and strategic objectives.

The Role

Our client is seeking a Finance Business Partner to support the implementation of the financial planning and analysis (FP&A) strategy within the ESN unit. You will provide insight, challenge, and analysis to drive strategic decision-making, support performance management, and enable the successful delivery of the unit's business objectives.

This is a high-impact role requiring strong stakeholder engagement skills, a proactive approach to continuous improvement, and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, complex programme environment.

Key Responsibilities

Partner with sub-programmes within the ESN unit to provide financial insights and inform strategic decision-making.
Lead the delivery of end-to-end financial planning, forecasting, and reporting processes for assigned sub-programmes.
Act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders across delivery, commercial, networks, and the Home Office.
Provide challenge and insight to ensure delivery within budget envelopes.
Implement process improvements to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of financial processes and reporting.
Ensure compliance with local legislative and regulatory requirements, identifying and managing financial risks.
Oversee timely and accurate billing, managing customer queries and dispute resolution as needed.

Skills & Experience Required

Essential:

Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent).
Proven experience in financial planning, analysis, and business partnering within a large and complex organisation.
Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and projects to tight deadlines.
Confident and proactive, with the ability to challenge the status quo constructively.
Strong analytical, communication, and influencing skills.
Must hold (or be able to obtain) an Advanced Security Check (SC) clearance.

Why Join?

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a mission-critical national programme - one that directly supports the safety and effectiveness of the UK's emergency services. You'll be part of a dedicated and high-performing finance team that partners closely with technical and operational leaders to deliver a programme of national importance.

If you are a qualified accountant with strong business partnering experience and are looking to apply your expertise to a high-profile, purpose-driven project, we'd love to hear from you.
