Job Introduction
--------------------

Location: Hybrid Working

This is a key leadership opportunity for a commercially minded finance professional to drive high\-quality financial management, governance, and decision support across a complex and diverse organisation.

You will lead the delivery of robust management accounting and financial management reporting, ensuring timely, accurate insight that supports strategic decision\-making. With oversight across a varied portfolio—including commercial property, regeneration, housing, capital and externally funded programmes—you will play a pivotal role in strengthening financial governance, control, and risk management.

Leading and developing a capable team, you will foster a strong performance culture, ensuring the finance function operates as a trusted business partner. You will confidently challenge and influence senior stakeholders, applying commercial acumen to improve value, optimise resource allocation, and support long\-term financial sustainability.

Success in the role will require:

  • Strong commercial accounting and financial planning expertise

  • Proven ability to embed financial governance, controls, and risk management frameworks

  • Effective leadership and team development skills

  • Confidence in partnering, influencing, and challenging across senior stakeholders

  • The ability to prioritise resources and focus on key financial and operational risks
You will join a forward\-thinking finance leadership team with a blend of commercial and public sector experience. While local authority technical knowledge is not essential, your leadership, financial insight, and commercial mindset will be critical.

This is an exciting time to join an organisation undergoing significant transformation, offering excellent opportunities to shape financial strategy and progress your career.

We offer flexible and hybrid working, a work\-life balance, generous leave, and continued investment in your professional development.
