Livingston James is currently retained by City Facilities Management to appoint a new Finance Director, to be based in Glasgow.
As one of the world’s largest privately owned FM companies, City has accumulated a wealth of experience serving a variety of sectors – healthcare, leisure and hospitality, retail, distribution and logistics, petrol forecourts, commercial property and construction. City’s client base includes a range of supermarkets, high street retailers and other well known brands.
With consumer-focused people at the centre, City employs circa 7,000 highly qualified staff to deliver exceptional service, every time. All over the world, City helps improve every aspect of customers’ lives – in supermarkets, offices and more.
This role will work closely with the Managing Director of City FM whilst having a reporting line into the Group CFO and will focus on driving business productivity with a strong lens on client budgets and relationships as well as having ultimate responsibility for accurate and timely financial reporting.
The role combines financial reporting, management accounting and tax compliance, requiring a candidate with strong technical and excellent interpersonal skills. The ideal candidate will likely have experience in a large firm or business setting. Confidence, self-motivation and effective communication with stakeholders across the business are essential qualities for this position.
The Finance Director will be a professionally qualified accountant with relevant post-qualification experience and a proven track record of success. The ideal candidate will be a strong people manager who is capable of driving process improvements, supporting operational decision making and developing good working relationships across the business and with customers. In particular, it is crucial they can take responsibility for decision making and possess sufficient gravitas to challenge current thinking and drive positive change.
A background in a related industry would be useful, but more important is that the individual is experienced in the accounting, commercial and operational requirements of a customer focused, fast-paced company.
A highly attractive financial package is available to the successful individual and will be commensurate with the background and experience required for the role.
