What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Take full ownership of P&L and balance sheet, ensuring compliance with policies, procedures, and contractual commitments
• Deliver accurate financial reporting, forecasting, and analysis, including budgets, KPIs, and performance insights
• Partner with operational and customer stakeholders to drive profitability, cost control, and commercial performance
• Lead financial modelling, project costing, and continuous improvement initiatives to support decision-making and business growth
• Build and develop a high-performing finance team, while strengthening processes, reporting models, and cross-functional collaboration

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• Fully or part-qualified accountant (CIMA, ACA, ACCA) with essential logistics experience and strong customer-facing relationship skills
• Strong commercial and analytical mindset, with expertise in financial reporting (weekly/monthly P&L), budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
• Confident in challenging performance, driving cost control, continuous improvement, and influencing operational decision-making
• Advanced IT and systems capability, including Excel
• High levels of attention to detail, integrity, and resilience, with a proactive, “can-do” approach and ability to deliver under pressure while maintaining compliance and financial control
