Chief Financial and Operating Officer
Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT)
Salary: £100,000 to £110,000, depending on experience plus benefits
Location: London and hybrid working
Contract: Permanent, full-time
Help shape the organisation behind a global treasury community, strengthening the financial and operational foundations that enable the ACT to educate, support and represent the profession.
Who we are
The Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT) is the professional body for treasurers and related roles in the UK and internationally, and the only treasury association to hold a Royal Charter. We set professional standards and qualifications, support treasurers throughout their careers and represent the voice of the real economy with policymakers, regulators and employers.
Our community includes around 5,000 members and students, with ACT members or students working within 79% of FTSE100 companies.
We are approaching the final year of our current three-year strategy from a position of increasing financial strength. During 2025, we continued to rebuild reserves, maintained a 93% membership renewal rate and progressed significant changes across education, membership and governance.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About the role
Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will be one of five Executive leaders and a close partner to the CEO, Council and Audit, Risk & Appointments Committee. You will lead finance alongside HR, ICT, data and facilities, bringing insight and constructive challenge to decisions across the ACT.
The breadth of the role matters. The ACT is a relatively small organisation with significant reach, so Executive leadership moves regularly between long-term strategy and the practical decisions needed to keep the organisation working well.
You will help maintain financial resilience while contributing to the ACT’s next strategy and ensuring its people, systems and resources support the organisation effectively. You will inherit strong foundations, while having space to consider what the ACT needs next.

What we are looking for
You will be a qualified accountant with senior financial leadership experience and the ability to lead confidently beyond finance. Experience across areas such as people, technology, data, risk or wider organisational operations will be important.
Experience of membership or not-for-profit organisations would be valuable, but we are open to relevant experience from other sectors.
Your judgement and approach to relationships will matter. You will know when to support and when to challenge, work constructively with Council and colleagues, and be comfortable moving between strategic questions and detailed operational decisions.
We welcome interest from people who connect with the ACT’s work and can see how their experience could contribute, including those whose career path may be different from established routes into professional body leadership.
