ACL plays a key role in the aviation supply chain, independently allocating airport take-off and landing slots at 72 airports around the world. ACL sits astride two philosophies. On one hand it is a not-for-profit organisation working in a regulated market, with a solid financial base that protects it against unforeseen events, ultimately fulfilling a niche and often unseen role in the interconnected aviation ecosystem. On the other hand, ACL also operates in unregulated and commercially driven markets where its strategic ambition and growth mindset have few limits and makes decisions that come with sizeable risk and impact due to the huge value placed on access to many of the airports it serves.
ACL is looking for a new Finance Director to join the Leadership Team and Board. This is an opportunity to help shape the company’s strategic, regulatory and commercial activities. ACL is changing, with 50% of its people having joined in the last two years. This is a perfect time to apply your personal and professional growth mindset to the challenges and opportunities that face ACL on the journey ahead, whilst ensuring it maintains the strongest possible financial foundations, risk awareness and corporate governance arrangements.
Candidates must be chartered accountants with senior financial management expertise, including people and budget management experience. The ideal candidate will bring experience of strategic thinking, planning and impact and offer commercial acumen and the drive to deliver strong, sustainable business growth. They should have excellent team working, interpersonal, and communication skills.
