Shape the financial future of global defence programmes

 

At Babcock we’re working to create a safe and secure world, together, and if you join us, you can play your part as a Head of Finance at one of our Babcock sites.

 

The role

As a Head of Finance, you’ll have a role that’s out of the ordinary. You will play a pivotal leadership role at the heart of Babcock’s expansion into the Indo‑Pacific region while maintaining strong financial governance across key UK naval programmes. This is a unique opportunity to combine strategic leadership with international reach, shaping how critical defence and engineering programmes are financed, governed and delivered.

 

Day‑to‑day you’ll be required to:

 

  • Leading the end‑to‑end financial setup of Babcock’s Indonesian subsidiary, ensuring compliant legal, tax and governance structures
  • Overseeing financial control, reporting and risk management across multi‑year defence programmes
  • Developing commercial pricing models and bid support for complex international tenders
  • Managing treasury, banking and foreign exchange activities across multiple currencies
  • Partnering with senior stakeholders to ensure programmes are commercially robust, compliant and sustainable

 

Please note that this position involves travel/working across a range of internal and customer sites, as a requirement of the role.

  • Strong background in project accounting and long‑term contract management
  • Experience operating within regulated environments, such as defence, aerospace, engineering or infrastructure
  • Demonstrated ability to lead financial governance, risk and controls at senior level
  • Commercial acumen supporting bids, pricing models and strategic decision‑making

 

Qualifications for the Head of Finance

  • Professionally qualified accountant: ACA, ACCA or CIMA or equivalent
  • Additional exposure to international tax, treasury or joint ventures would be advantageous

This means that your eligibility for certain roles may be affected by your place of birth, nationality, current or former citizenship, and any residency you hold or have held.
