Fast-Track Progression to Director level
London (3-4 days based in the London office)
STOIX is supporting the build-out of a brand-new centralised Insights function inside a $multi-billion-plus global technology and services business, thousands of employees, dozens of cost centres, real scale. This is the cost and productivity seat: you'll own the read the CFO currently doesn't have on OpEx, payroll and headcount, and tell leadership what's structural, what's noise, and what to actually do about it.
You will not be producing the cost pack and stopping there.
What you'll actually do:
- Build genuine like-for-like reads when the org structure shifts mid-year: restating prior periods to the current boundary at employee grain, not quoting a headline percentage
- Go beyond a headcount count: cost per head, fully-loaded cost, span of control, productivity, each tied to a decision and an owner
- Separate run-rate from one-off and structural from temporary in a complex, fast-moving cost base
- Identify and quantify cost-optimisation opportunities and track them through to realised savings
- Lead a pod and set the cost-analysis agenda from day one
What gets you shortlisted:
- 8-12 years running SG&A, OpEx, cost or payroll-and-headcount FP&A at genuine scale (thousands of employees, many departments)
- Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA); sector is flexible, scale is not
- A genuine, current habit of using AI tools (Claude, Copilot or similar) to work faster and think sharper, not just awareness that they exist
- Real intellectual curiosity: you dig past the first answer, and can prove it with a real example
What you get:
Direct CFO visibility, a cost-insight capability this business has never had before, and a defined path into wider FP&A or business-partnering leadership. Fast-track progression to Director level in the short-term.
