The Position

If you want to challenge yourself, work hard and make a real difference in the world, we might just have the role for you! 

We invite you to help lead us through an exciting period of growth and development. You'll join us at a key moment in our history, and take us into a dynamic future.

This is a unique chance for a finance orientated, senior manager from the not-for-profit sector with international experience, to head up the finance and operations department for our high-impact organisation.

The primary responsibility of the Director of Finance and Operations is to ensure  the successful financial and operational performance of the organisation through close partnership with the Executive Director and Director of Member Engagement.

You will have outstanding management and leadership skills, with extensive experience to engage and motivate a diverse, decentralised team to fulfil their potential. It is essential that you have a strong understanding of the operational requirements placed upon international Charities based in the UK, including managing grants and sub grants. You need to be able to explain complex financial data and concepts clearly and succinctly to non finance professionals.

You will be able to think creatively, and have the analytical skills and judgement, combined with strong communication skills to take and implement strategic decisions in a complex and fast paced environment. You will have a professional financial qualification and experience of supporting a small Charity transition into a medium sized organisation.

In addition, you'll bring a thorough working knowledge of charity finance and governance, HR and fundraising to your role. You'll draw on all your creativity and energy to achieve maximum success and sustainability in a role where you have the opportunity to apply your skills to make a difference. We look forward to hearing from you -and offering a warm welcome from our lively and diverse team.
