We make health happen

Working in our Group functions you’ll play a key part in helping our customer-facing colleagues deliver exceptional standards of customer service and patient care not just in the UK but around the globe. 

No matter your role, you’ll have an opportunity to do work that matters. Making a difference to the lives of our customers each and every day, by helping shape the strategic direction of our business around the world.

The Senior Finance Manager – Sustainability plays a key part in how we bring this to life. You’ll help shape and steer our global approach to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, supporting our ambition to create a more sustainable future. You’ll work at the heart of our sustainability agenda, influencing decisions across the Group and playing a vital role in delivering our Better World strategy and 3x100 commitments.

It’s a role with purpose, impact and the chance to drive meaningful, lasting change across Bupa’s global footprint.

How you’ll help us make health happen:

In this role, you’ll lead core elements of our GHG reporting, planning and forecasting, helping us build strong, transparent, and future‑ready sustainability reporting. You’ll also support wider transformation work to improve how we measure and manage our environmental impact.

You’ll:

• Own the Group’s end‑to‑end reporting, planning and forecasting of GHG emissions across scopes 1, 2 and 3.

• Provide trusted finance business partnering to Group Sustainability, supporting our global Better World strategy.

• Lead the migration of current scope 3 reporting into our Sustainable Finance team.

• Drive scope 3 finance transformation activities in preparation for external assurance and future disclosure requirements.

• Act as a catalyst for change, working across teams to improve how we measure, analyse and report GHG emissions.

• Support the development of the operating model for global scope 3 emissions measurement.

• Make sure reporting aligns with internal policies and external frameworks, including CSRD and UK SRS.

• Prepare governance papers for senior committees, including Group Board, Group Audit Committee and the Sustainability Steering Committee.

• Help our markets and teams design and deliver decarbonisation initiatives aligned to science‑based targets.

• Review and challenge environmental and sustainability‑related business cases, and support post‑implementation reviews.

• Play an active role in Bupa’s sustainability reporting network and represent Bupa in relevant external forums.

What you'll bring:     

This role is ideal for someone who brings a blend of technical expertise, strategic thinking and the desire to make a real difference. We’re looking for someone who has:

• A recognised finance qualification (ACA, CIMA or equivalent) with significant practical application in a similar role.

• Strong knowledge of GHG reporting, including experience with the GHG Protocol.

• Understanding of sustainability reporting frameworks (e.g. CSRD, UK SRS, ISSB) — helpful but not essential.

• Experience interpreting sustainability, energy or environmental standards.

• A background in managing reporting or analysis processes, ideally including external assurance.

• Strong analytical skills and the ability to work confidently with complex datasets.

• Experience working with financial or non‑financial reporting systems; Oracle experience is desirable.

• The ability to collaborate across teams and build strong relationships at all levels.

• A proactive, solutions‑focused approach, with the confidence to work independently and handle multiple priorities.

• A commitment to inclusion, openness and continuous improvement.
