Finance Director
Brentford
Up to £605 per day (Umbrella only)
12 months
Reporting to the Global Tech & Digital Finance Director this Finance Partnering role will play a key role driving GSK Tech through a significant period of change for GSK.
2019 was a pivotal year in GSK’s history. In August, GSK’s Consumer Healthcare business and Pfizer completed a deal to combine businesses into a single, new world-leading Consumer joint venture. Three years after closing the transaction, GSK has signalled that the new Global Consumer business will be separated from GSK, and set a new exciting pathway forward for the creation of a new global pharmaceuticals/ Vaccines company (New GSK). In order to achieve this outcome, a significant period of transformation will be undertaken across the commercial businesses and the global support functions (GSF).
In Global Tech, we continue to have a unique opportunity - the world of technology and digital is constantly evolving and we are responding to it in order to remain competitive. In order to achieve the scale of change required, we commenced our Tech Transformation programme to ensure we are “future ready” – however this needs to be accelerated.
This is a highly visible role with daily contact with Global Tech & Digital Finance Director and other senior stakeholders across the Tech Leadership Team. Responsibilities will include validating investments, sources of savings, timelines, identifying and managing programme risks – ultimately developing a business case for approval, release of funding, and benefits tracking.
Basic qualifications:
- Qualified to degree level. Must hold recognised finance qualification (MBA or ACCA/ACMA preferred – must be qualified +5yr)
- Proven track record in managing multiple stakeholders and supporting change across a complex area
- Capability to interpret financial results within a commercial context to explain performance and secure agreement for all correctional activities needed.
- Experience working on projects and ensuring control on costs and forecasts, benefits tracking and reporting
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Understanding and experience in working with financial systems (SAP)
Preferred qualifications (and must be able to demonstrate):
- Strategic thinker with the ability to communicate vision & objectives to a diverse group of individuals.
- Demonstrated ability to work with diverse, multi-national team at various management levels.
- Strong influencing and relationship building skills with Senior Management required (presentation, communication and influencing).
- Ability to deliver quickly in a fast changing and uncertain environment
- Transformation experience
- Understanding or hunger to learn aspects of Information Technology
All profiles will be reviewed against the required skills and experience. Due to the high number of applications we will only be able to respond to successful applicants in the first instance. We thank you for your interest and the time taken to apply!
