We are seeking an ambitious and commercially minded Director of Finance, Property & Resources to join our senior leadership team at a pivotal point in our development.

This is a high-profile leadership role offering the opportunity to shape financial strategy, influence organisational direction, and oversee a diverse portfolio spanning finance, property and organisational resources.

The Role

Reporting to the CEO, you will play a critical role in driving the organisation's financial sustainability and operational effectiveness.

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing strategic financial leadership, ensuring robust planning, reporting and governance
• Leading the development of a medium-term financial strategy aligned to organisational priorities
• Partnering with the CEO and Board to support evidence-based decision-making
• Overseeing a varied property portfolio, ensuring effective financial management and risk oversight
• Leading and developing a small, multi-disciplinary team across finance and support functions
• Contributing fully as a member of the senior leadership team, shaping wider organisational strategy.

This is a broad and hands-on role, requiring both strategic insight and operational delivery.

About You

We are looking for a qualified finance leader who thrives in a purposeful, fast-paced environment.

You will bring:

• A recognised accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
• Proven experience in a senior finance leadership role (e.g. Head of Finance / Finance Director)
• Strong technical expertise in financial planning, reporting and governance
• The ability to operate at both strategic and operational levels
• Experience leading and developing teams
• Confidence-building relationships with senior stakeholders, including Board-level engagement

We welcome applications from candidates across:

• Commercial/corporate environments
• Public sector (e.g. NHS, education)
• Not-for-profit / charity organisations

Experience of working with property, estates or asset-related financial oversight would be advantageous, but is not essential.

What matters most is your ability to bring clarity, insight and leadership to a broad and evolving brief.
