The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to take the next step into your first Senior Management Team seat — leading the finance function of a long-established, internationally-connected membership charity, with genuine authority over financial controls, statutory compliance, and strategic decision-making at board level.
You'll be the organisation's principal finance authority, responsible for safeguarding fiduciary and statutory compliance (Charity SORP FRS 102, Companies Act, Charities Act, HMRC, Gift Aid and VAT), while acting as a strategic partner to the CEO, Deputy CEO and Board. This is a genuine seat at the top table, not a finance function buried beneath operations — you'll retain final authority on financial controls, compliance and professional judgement, and your insight will shape decisions at the very top of the organisation.
If you're currently a Finance Manager, Deputy Head of Finance, or Senior Finance Manager in the charity sector looking for your first seat on a Senior Management Team — or a Head of Finance at a smaller charity ready for a bigger, more complex remit — this is that step up.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading financial strategy, budgeting, planning and cash-flow management across a complex, multi-entity charity
Owning the financial control framework, accounting policies and statutory compliance — and delivering clean, on-time audits
Producing clear, board-ready reporting and translating the numbers into insight for SMT, trustees and committees
Leading and developing the finance team, and championing business partnering across the organisation
Owning the finance systems roadmap and leading the financial elements of the corporate risk register
Partnering with the CEO and Deputy CEO on financial sustainability, risk and strategic decisions
