Group Chief Financial Officer — Commercial-Aerospace Programme

Location: Bengaluru / Toulouse
Reporting to: CEO / Managing Director

Export and security decisions remain with authorised officers.

The CFO will work with procurement and engineering to compare total landed and lifecycle cost, including the time and cash needed to qualify an
