* Deliver comprehensive management reporting and data insight across all aspects of FM
* Lead glide path savings initiatives, driving continuous improvement and operational efficiencies
* Ensure supply chain continuity and resilience strategies are embedded
* Champion business continuity and resilience planning across the FM portfolio
* Integrate FM delivery with wider CRE strategic objectives to ensure cohesive execution
Qualifications
* Proven track record managing national FM portfolios with contract values in the region of £30 million
* Exceptional commercial acumen with deep experience in contract management, cost control, and commercial governance
* A minimum of 10 years’ experience managing all core FM services, ideally in complex and high-risk environments
* Sector experience within banking or financial services is highly desirable, though not essential
* Strong operational FM background, with a clear understanding of gearing ratios, benchmarking, and key metrics that inform organisational design and service strategy
