Senior Finance Business Partner

🚀 Senior Finance Business Partner | Public Sector Services Organisation
📍 Hybrid (3 days onsite in Hook, Hampshire or London)
💰 £90,000 – £110,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Stanton House are exclusively partnering with a leading public sector services organisation to appoint a Senior Finance Business Partner within a complex and operationally critical division. This is a high impact, commercially focused role supporting a multi-million portfolio of contracts, operating in a workforce driven environment.

This is not a traditional finance role. It is an opportunity to operate at the heart of the business, influencing contract performance, driving margin improvement, and shaping strategic decision making across a geographically dispersed operation.

💼 The role: You will act as a senior commercial partner to operational and leadership teams, supporting the performance of multiple contracts and driving value across workforce, facilities, and service delivery. Alongside core financial responsibilities, you will be heavily involved in:

• Partnering with senior stakeholders to influence strategic and commercial decisions
• Driving margin improvement across complex, low margin contracts
• Leading workforce optimisation initiatives (overtime, attrition, resource planning)
• Supporting contract negotiations, extensions, and performance reviews
• Delivering insight led analysis to improve operational and financial outcomes
• Identifying value leakage and delivering cost optimisation initiatives
• Enhancing financial governance and supporting decision making through data and insight
• Playing a key role in transformation and continuous improvement initiatives

This is a hands on role, working closely with Finance Business Partners and operational teams, with a focus on solving complex commercial challenges rather than managing large teams.

🎯 What we are looking for:

• Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) 
• Proven experience as a Senior Finance Business Partner in a commercial, contract driven environment
• Strong track record of driving margin improvement and influencing business performance
• Experience working in workforce heavy or operational environments (for example logistics, facilities, healthcare, infrastructure)
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to influence negotiations and outcomes
• Experience partnering with senior stakeholders in complex organisations
• Strong communication, storytelling, and stakeholder management capability
• Resilient, proactive, and comfortable dealing with ambiguity and change

🌍 Why this role?

• High visibility role partnering directly with senior leadership
• Opportunity to influence contract performance and operational strategy
• Exposure to complex, large scale public sector contracts
• Genuine scope to drive commercial improvement and transformation
• Hybrid, flexible working with limited travel requirements
• Join a business undergoing change with strong leadership and clear direction
