GATE THEATRE
Executive Director & CEO
GATE THEATRE Lewisham, London
The Gate brings people together from across the world to engage with theatre, performance, art and ideas. Founded in 1979 to stage ground-breaking international plays, the Gate has become a platform for radical artists, writers and directors from across the globe: known for its transformative ability to push the boundaries of what theatre is and could be. It is a place where creatives have been gathering to imagine storytelling differently, and where experimental thinking is front and centre. At a time when the world and our own nation grow increasingly insular, we believe it is important to foster communication and understanding across borders, across languages, across cultures. The Gate works with artists in the UK to tell stories from beyond our borders, celebrating the multiplicity of identity within our artists and our audiences through the power of theatre. As a home for new voices and new ideas, we also have a reputation as a training theatre. Gate shows enable artists to take risks and to develop and advance their own talent, and their own professional journey, by making high quality work that moves the artform and the sector forward.

The Gate brings people together from across the world to engage with theatre, performance, art and ideas. Founded in 1979 to stage ground-breaking international plays, the Gate has become a platform for radical artists, writers and directors from across the globe: known for its transformative ability to push the boundaries of what theatre is and could be.

In addition to traditional healthcare product distribution, the business has developed a broader service offering that may include: diagnostic equipment supply and installation equipment servicing and calibration partnerships operational support services for GP practices procurement optimisation and supply consolidation This hybrid model creates a diverse commercial environment where revenue streams include product sales, service partnerships and project-based work. As the organisation continues to grow, financial insight into these revenue streams will become increasingly important. The Opportunity The Finance Manager will play a key role in strengthening the finance function and supporting the continued growth of the Primary Care division. Working closely with the Primary Care Director and Group CFO, the successful candidate will act as a commercial finance partner to the leadership team, helping translate financial data into meaningful insight that supports operational and strategic decisions. The role combines traditional management accounting responsibilities with a strong emphasis on commercial finance, business partnering and performance analysis. The successful candidate will support financial reporting, forecasting and planning across the division while also helping the leadership team understand profitability across products, services and customer segments. This is an excellent opportunity for a finance professional who enjoys working closely with operational teams and wants to contribute directly to the commercial success of a growing business. The Finance Manager will support both the financial performance and strategic development of the Primary Care division. Responsibilities will include preparing and presenting monthly financial performance reports, producing detailed management accounts and providing clear analysis of variances against budgets and forecasts. Working closely with divisional leadership, the role will also involve providing financial insight into commercial performance, supporting budgeting and forecasting processes and helping the business understand profitability across product categories, service offerings and customer segments. The position will also play a key role in strengthening financial reporting processes, improving forecasting capability and developing meaningful management information that enables better decision making across the organisation. In addition, the Finance Manager will support the development of the internal finance function, working with the existing finance team to ensure accurate financial control while introducing stronger commercial insight into the business. The business is currently implementing a new ERP system which will go live later this year. The Finance Manager will be closely involved in supporting the accounting and reporting elements of this implementation, ensuring that financial processes, reporting structures and system outputs support the needs of the leadership team. This presents an opportunity to contribute to the development of financial systems and processes that will support the organisation's continued growth.

Applicants should be fully qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA or equivalent) and comfortable working in a finance role that combines management accounting, financial analysis and commercial business partnering. Candidates may currently hold a Finance Manager, Commercial Finance Manager, Finance Business Partner or Senior Management Accountant title and be seeking an opportunity to broaden their commercial exposure within a growing business. Experience gained within sectors such as healthcare supply, medical consumables, pharmaceutical distribution, medical devices, healthcare logistics or other B2B distribution environments would be advantageous, although candidates from other product and service-based commercial businesses may also find their experience highly transferable. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong analytical capability, commercial awareness and the ability to translate financial data into practical business insight. The confidence to challenge and influence non-finance stakeholders are also essential.
