Public Services Advisory Associate Director

Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom Grant Thornton UK LLP Full time
R1030745

More than you expected


Grant Thornton UK LLP is part of a global network of independent audit, tax and advisory firms, made up of some 58,000 people in over 135 countries.

We're a team of independent thinkers who put quality, inclusion and integrity first. All around the world we bring a different experience to our clients. A better experience. One that delivers the expertise they need in a way that goes beyond. Personal, proactive, and agile. That's Grant Thornton.

Job Description:

This role is a Fixed-Term Contract (FTC) or Internal Secondment Opportunity until May 2024

NEW GROUND WON'T BREAK ITSELF.

Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.

Transport is a core sector within our Public Services Advisory offering.

Today, transport infrastructure is seen as a stimulator of economic growth and regeneration, rather than being responsive to increasing demand.

Governments around the world consider improved transport services as a means of increasing competitiveness within national, regional, urban and local economies.

But transport authorities must balance economic, environmental, technical, and safety interests within a context of limited funding and long lead-times for the development of new infrastructure.

These constraints accentuate a need for rigorous, evidence-based analysis and innovative thinking.


We are market leaders in the public sector transport advisory space, regularly competing and winning against the Big 4 accounting firms.

We are involved in some of the most high profile capital projects in the UK and are often shaping the strategic direction of both public and private sector clients.

We are looking to expand our team of expert advisers with a focus on the financial aspects of transport infrastructure.

A look into the role


As an Associate Director on a Fixed Term Contract (FTC) within our Public Services Advisory team, you will support the finance functions of our clients, including a major employer in the Midlands.


This will require you to:

  • Lead and develop a large team of people responsible for delivering effective and efficient outcomes for the finance function;
  • Deliver against team objectives, ensuring alignment with overarching corporate strategy;
  • Translate and convey financial and nonfinancial information effectively to all levels both within and outside of the organisation;
  • Distil and summarise financial data to provide insight to inform decision making, communicating this to senior leaders to help drive great decisions.
  • Scope, plan and deliver projects to an agreed set of business requirements, cost, timescale and quality parameters. This is likely to include aspects of change management e.g. leading on corporate change programmes alongside complex finance change initiatives
  • Identify, anticipate and mitigate potential risks in relation to achievement of strategic objectives and to other business areas
  • Engage in effective stakeholder management to senior members of the business to drive delivery of quality outcomes to your 'customers';
  • Develop and enforce effective policy, frameworks and other governance mechanisms within the organisation
  • Manage a number of high profile engagements, with a focus on financial and commercial advice related to transport and infrastructure projects
  • Help clients to solve problems that support the delivery of their objectives and projects, sometimes working alongside or for third parties
Knowing you're right for us

Joining us as a Public Services Advisory Associate Director on an FTC based in the Midlands, the minimum criteria you'll need is to have:

  • Qualified accountant (CCAB, CIMA or International equivalent), with full membership (with letters) of the relevant accounting body.
  • Proven experience of operating at a senior level in a finance function of a major organisation and/or internal consultancy within industry.
  • Strong leadership and management skills with experience of managing multiple teams and complex workstreams.
  • Knowledge and experience of the UK rail and infrastructure industries


It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don't worry if you don't tick every box, we'll help you develop along the way.

- an understanding of the financial aspects of the public sector's procurement processes and contractual frameworks;

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a commitment to producing clear, structured reports.
  • A genuine interest in our public and private sector clients. We want to provide a distinctive service and unlock potential for growth in dynamic organisations.
  • An ability to adapt quickly to changing conditions to optimise outcomes for both our clients and ourselves.
  • Focus on quality and excellence with strong analytical and report writing skills.
Knowing we're right for you

Embracing uniqueness, the culture at Grant Thornton thrives on the contributions of all our
