The Successful Applicant We are seeking a values-led, visible and engaging finance leader who brings people with them.

You will be someone who can operate confidently at a senior level, translating strategic direction into meaningful action, and connecting finance with the wider organisation. This is an opportunity for an individual who is either operating at this level already or ready to step up, demonstrating the potential, self-awareness and ambition to grow into a critical leadership role within policing. You will bring: A recognised professional accountancy qualification (e.g. CIPFA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA) Senior-level finance experience within a large, complex organisation (public sector or similarly complex environment highly advantageous) A leadership style that brings teams together, motivates performance and creates a strong sense of shared purpose The ability to operate at both a strategic and operational level, translating organisational priorities into clear, deliverable financial outcomes Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence, challenge and build credibility across a diverse, non-finance audience Experience of working at pace within a complex environment, with the resilience and adaptability to navigate change and ambiguity The ability to act as the bridge between senior leadership priorities and delivery on the ground Critically, we are looking for someone who: Is more than a technical accountant.

At its core, South Yorkshire Police is focused on preventing crime and disorder, responding to the needs of victims and communities, and targeting those who cause the most harm. The Force is already high performing, with clear ambitions to build on this and drive future policing to an even higher standard. Working as part of a cohesive leadership team, the finance function plays a vital role in enabling these priorities, ensuring every pound is used effectively, efficiently and in the public interest. This goes beyond managing budgets, requiring strong insight, influence and leadership to support confident decision-making at the highest levels of the organisation.

Job Description Reporting to the Chief Finance Officer, this is a visible and influential leadership role at a pivotal point for South Yorkshire Police and the wider policing sector.

The Successful Applicant We are seeking a values-led, visible and engaging finance leader who brings people with them.

This is an opportunity for an individual who is either operating at this level already or ready to step up, demonstrating the potential, self-awareness and ambition to grow into a critical leadership role within policing.
