Gama Aviation is seeking an experienced Interim Finance Business Partner to support our Technology & Outsourcing (T&O) and Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) Strategic Business Units (SBUs). Working closely with the Managing Directors and Group FP&A, you will lead financial planning, deliver high‑quality reporting, and drive commercial performance across two strategically important business units.

This is a senior, hands‑on role suited to a commercially focused qualified accountant who can quickly build credibility, influence decision‑making, and deliver meaningful insight from day one. You will shape business plans, analyse financial performance, and identify opportunities to improve revenue, cost efficiency and profitability.

Gama Aviation is a hugely diverse business that offers much more than perhaps its name would suggest. Yes, we fly but we also save lives, provide mission critical intelligence, and build systems that deliver decisive advantage.

With operations in the UK, Jersey, Europe and the Middle East, a career with us can offer travel, personal growth opportunities and the ability for long‑term progression in a fast paced and dynamic service industry.

You will provide senior financial support across the T&O and MRO SBUs, leading the creation of the business plans and delivering clear, accurate reporting and analysis of budgets, monthly performance, and key financial drivers.

The core aim is to support improvement in financial performance by:

• Driving revenue growth
• Reducing costs
• Improving profitability

Key activities include reviewing business performance, producing monthly reporting, and leading development of annual and long‑term business plans.

• Produce timely, accurate monthly financial reporting and KPIs aligned to underlying financial statements
• Deliver refreshed forecasts covering revenue, gross profit, operating costs and cash‑flow drivers
• Maintain a rolling view of financial risks and opportunities to support full‑year delivery
• Work closely with executives to enhance operational and financial reporting for decision‑making
• Own financial inputs for quarterly re‑forecasts and the annual budget process
• Support development of the annual strategic plan and lead creation of financial budgets derived from it
• Provide financial analysis for due diligence, project costing (workforce, materials, operational inputs) and commercial decision support
• Provide high‑quality financial summaries and analysis for inclusion in Group reporting
• Support continuous improvement of financial planning, reporting processes and use of group systems

• Qualified accountant with strong relevant experience
• Senior ‑ level financial professional with FP&A, business partnering or commercial finance background
• Experience producing monthly and quarterly financials to firm deadlines
• Strong analytical capability with the ability to identify issues and drive improvement plans
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and strong capability in producing clear financial reports and presentations
• Experience in project‑based, contract‑driven or service‑based industries is highly advantageous. Direct industry experience would be desirable.
• Comfortable working across both corporate and operational environments
