Interim Senior Finance Business Partner
A major UK-based foundation is seeking an experienced Interim Senior Finance Business Partner to provide senior-level financial support across its Operations portfolio, covering areas including digital technology, finance and legal.
This is a six-month assignment, expected to begin in mid-August or September and run until the end of March. The role will pay approximately £550 per day, with some flexibility for an exceptional candidate.

A major focus will be supporting large and complex financial models connected to transformation projects, including programmes involving finance systems and digital technology. The core models are largely established, so the organisation is not looking for someone to redesign everything. Instead, the successful candidate will be able to understand sophisticated existing models, maintain momentum and add practical value without introducing unnecessary change.
The Interim Senior Finance Business Partner will be responsible for:
