About the role

We are seeking an experienced and commercially minded Director, Business Finance, Global Operations to strengthen financial

leadership and business partnering across Evac's global supply chain and manufacturing operations.

Global Operations is at the heart of Evac's transformation, spanning supply chain and manufacturing across approximately 160

professionals globally. This pivotal role will bring rigorous financial discipline, clear financial insight and constructive

challenge directly into this critical part of the business.

You will act as the primary Finance Business Partner to the SVP, Global Operations, supporting and challenging operational

strategy, sourcing and investment decisions, supplier negotiations, performance management and working-capital improvement. You

will work closely with Operations, Manufacturing, Procurement and Supply Chain leaders to ensure that operational decisions and

transformation initiatives deliver strong financial outcomes, improved cash generation and sustainable shareholder value.

This is an individual contributor role with significant organisational reach. Success will depend on your ability to influence

decisions and behaviours without formal authority, combining the quality of your analysis with commercial courage, strong

relationships and credible financial challenge.

• Act as the primary strategic and financial sparring partner to the SVP, Global Operations, providing insight-led support and

constructive challenge on operational strategy and performance.

• Provide financial leadership for investment and sourcing decisions, supplier negotiations, performance management and

make-or-buy evaluations.

• Lead the financial evaluation of sourcing strategies, manufacturing-footprint optimisation, capital investments and major

operational transformation initiatives.

• Translate complex operational and financial data into clear, decision-ready insights and recommendations for operational and

executive stakeholders.

• Support the SVP and Global Operations leadership in preparing high-quality financial analysis and presentations for Group

Leadership Team reviews.

• Identify cost-reduction opportunities, challenge targets, validate the realisation of savings and provide transparent reporting

on progress.

• Provide financial leadership and support to Evac's manufacturing operations, helping to improve operational efficiency, cost

competitiveness, inventory management and supply chain performance.

• Work with operational leaders to deliver cost-productivity and efficiency initiatives and ensure that expected financial

benefits are realised.

• Lead budgeting, rolling forecasting and financial planning for Global Operations, working collaboratively with sales segments

and other functions.

• Integrate financial performance into the Sales and Operations Planning process, ensuring that financial targets are reconciled

with operational capacity, delivery plans and supply chain constraints.

• Take ownership of key Group working-capital measures relating to Operations, including inventory levels and locations, Days

Inventory Outstanding and direct cost-related Days Payable Outstanding.

• Provide accurate, timely and insight-led financial reporting, supported by the commercial narrative required by senior

stakeholders.

• Participate actively in the design, implementation and continuing development of the global ERP system to be introduced

throughout Evac Group.

• Partner with the data analytics team to move from static reporting towards predictive analysis, real-time cost tracking and

more sophisticated cost modelling.

• Champion financial understanding across Global Operations, helping operational colleagues engage with financial performance

measures and cost drivers.

• Act as a trusted finance resource for Procurement, Supply Chain and Manufacturing leaders requiring financial guidance,

business-case support or performance interpretation.

• Contribute actively to the wider Evac finance community, sharing best practice and supporting Group-wide finance initiatives

and process-improvement programmes.

• Strong working knowledge of IFRS and the ability to explain financial and accounting principles clearly to non-finance

stakeholders.

• A proven track record as a Finance Business Partner to Operations, Supply Chain or Procurement, demonstrably influencing

decisions rather than simply reporting results.

• Experience in supply chain finance and procurement cost management, including direct material costs, sourcing decisions, cost

modelling and savings validation.

• Strong commercial judgement and the confidence to challenge assumptions and ask difficult questions while remaining a

constructive and trusted partner.

• Demonstrated ability to drive change, shape behaviour and create accountability without formal authority in a global matrix

organisation.

• The ability to translate complex financial information into clear, practical and impactful messages for operational and

executive audiences.

• A proactive, hands-on and improvement-oriented approach, with the ability to move effectively between strategic analysis and

operational detail.
