You'll join a growing charity who are on the search for a Head of Finance to join the Executive Team and take genuine ownership of the organisation's financial strategy.
This is much more than producing management accounts. You'll be advising the CEO and Board, shaping financial strategy, improving forecasting and MI, supporting new contracts and funding opportunities, and making sure the organisation has the financial resilience to continue delivering its work.
