The Egis Group has recently implemented a matrix model, introducing dual governance through the regions in addition to the Business Lines. Consequently, we have moved to consolidate corporate services in the UK to serve all Business Lines, delivering both dedicated business partnering and shared services.

This role forms part of the finance team in the UK, reporting to the Head of Finance Shared Services and managing the delivery of shared services across the UK. The scope of the shared services includes payables, payroll, invoicing, treasury management, reporting, and compliance.

The finance function has undergone a transformation over the past year, with entity-specific finance resources centralized into one UK finance team and the migration onto a new ERP, Oracle. This role must build upon that progress, ensuring all shared service activities have the correct stewardship, SLAs are in place, and are regularly communicated to stakeholders.

There is a strong emphasis on people management to ensure the team’s success. The role is based at our London offices near Waterloo. We operate a hybrid working policy, requiring a minimum of 3 days in the office each week.

• Ensure high-quality finance shared services in the UK, with controls embedded in each process.
• Manage and guide the finance shared service team.
• Collaborate with colleagues in HR and other functions to design and document robust end-to-end processes aligned with group policies and regulations, including SLAs.
• Identify and implement innovative ways to improve the finance team’s operations.
• Oversee budgeting and reporting activities.
• Maintain a strong understanding of corporate treasury functions.

Qualifications:

• Relevant experience from previous roles, projects, or programmes.
• A process improvement mindset, with a track record of implementing efficient operations.
• Experience working in large, complex, and geographically dispersed organizations.
• Strong people management and communication skills.
• Proven ability to review functions and processes for improvements.
• Experience leading a finance shared services function.
• Ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders and handle challenging relationships.
• Experience presenting to senior stakeholders.

Additional Information:

• Competitive salary and performance-related bonus.
• 5% pension contribution, life insurance, private healthcare, health cash plan.
• 26 days holiday plus bank holidays.
• Structured training, mentoring, and flexible working arrangements.
