The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association (Guide Dogs)

Guide Dogs is seeking an exceptional individual to join its Executive Board as CFO.

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.
- Leading a diverse portfolio spanning finance, investments, compliance, procurement, health & safety and business planning, you will steer critical decisions, oversee significant assets and ensure robust governance across the charity.
- You will champion financial accountability, unlock performance and help shape strategy, investment and change.
- Balancing strategic vision with operational rigour, you will build high-performing teams, inspire confidence at Board level and ensure every pound, every asset and every decision delivers maximum value.
Above all, this role calls for a commercially astute leader who combines strong financial acumen and sound judgement with a deep commitment to Guide Dogs’ purpose, ensuring commercial rigour is aligned with its charitable mission.
