Head of Financial Control & Analysis (Financial Reporting), Scotland's Railway


Location - Glasgow (Hybrid)


Salary - starting salary £85,395 plus car allowance and excellent benefits



Network Rail in Scotland is part of Scotland's Railway, with responsibility for managing a complex asset infrastructure network, with a combined annual expenditure of circa £1 billion, with 3500 employees and a diverse ecosystem of supply chain partners.

We are seeking to appoint a Head of Financial Control and Analysis (Financial Reporting), with responsibility for Business Reporting & Analysis to work with us to create something outstanding. As part of Network Rail's regional finance function, you will contribute to the successful achievement of our strategic objectives and be part of a driven team at the very heart of the business whose impeccable standards ensure our ultimate success.



Reporting to the Regional Financial Management Director, this is a newly constituted post arising from a restructuring exercise within the Finance function that sits alongside four other Heads of Financial Control & Analysis. This is an influential position that will see you working collaboratively with Network Rail senior leaders and with external partners, including leading on financial risk management to maximise opportunities and create risk minimisation plans to ensure financial systems are fit for purpose. As such, we are looking for someone with proven influencing skills and experience of working in a busy and demanding environment. You will be commercially astute, customer focussed and committed to ensuring that performance is at the heart of everything we do.


As a professionally qualified accountant with experience of managing a function within a finance department, you will be well versed in driving forward the business and providing strategic insight supported by robust financial and non-financial analysis to enable decision making. You will leverage your business and commercial acumen to suggest appropriate strategic options where sustainable financial plans and objectives can be developed. Scotland's Railway is a better railway in the making, and we are looking for the best people to join us on our journey. If you have the financial nous, exceptional leadership and analytical skills and would relish the opportunity to play an important role within an open, diverse and inclusive organisation, we would love to hear from you. We're dedicated to creating an inclusive environment and we welcome applications from everyone!


Applications in the form of a tailored CV and a covering letter (no longer than two pages), highlighting your skills and experience pertinent to the role, should arrive no later than Sunday 6 April.
