Job description

We are seeking an experienced Head of Operations and Finance to oversee our systems and procedures and ensure good operating practice and overall organisational health.The Head of Operations and Finance role would suit someone with a background in operations, finance, HR, governance and processes.

The cause

New Local is a think tank and network working to transform public services and empower communities.

At the heart of our work is ‘community power’ - the principle that communities themselves have strong insights into their own circumstances and should be able to participate in shaping the places they live in and the services they use.  We believe that active, empowered communities should be at the heart of a wider shift towards place-based public services and a system focused on prevention, which can lead to better outcomes and a more sustainable system for all.  

We publish research, lead peer learning within our network of 50-plus local authorities, influence government and work directly with public sector organisations. We support local practice and make connections with national policy, catalysing innovation and new ways of working in the context of rising demand, constrained funding and declining trust.

The role

Over the last year, we’ve seen our community power message really begin to take hold. At the same time, we’re developing as an organisation, so it has never been more important to have strong organisational foundations in place to support our wide-ranging activity and projects.  We are looking for an experienced Head of Operations and Finance who can help us do this.

Your job will include: 

  • Operational management: ensuring effective systems, administration and procedures are in place to enable the smooth day-to-day running of the organisation.
  • Financial management: implementing robust financial systems and playing a key role in managing budgets, forecasting and reporting.
  • HR, organisational policies and recruitment: consulting with external professionals to ensure comprehensive processes are in place and compliant to support our activities.
  • Governance management: working closely with the Chair and CEO to ensure good board practice.
  • Strategic leadership: actively contributing to shaping the strategic direction of the organisation.
  • Business development: working collaboratively with and supporting the team to further our commercial practice. 
  • And more... As part of a small, friendly and informal organisation you'll have the opportunity to participate in other activities and support the wider development and delivery of New Local’s vision and strategy. 

Location:  New Local operates a highly flexible approach to work location and welcomes applications from across the UK.

Our ideal candidate will be: 

  • A warm connector, someone who is able to build strong, supportive relationships with individuals and teams inside and outside the organisation.
  • An excellent communicator, who can bring people together around a topic – verbally and in writing about the work they are delivering, and the tasks they are undertaking.
  • A keen planner, whose strategic understanding, project management skills and attention-to-detail are able to keep projects timely and impactful.
  • Entrepreneurial, someone who likes new opportunities and is comfortable supporting business development.
  • Someone who is able to prioritise, who is comfortable working across a variety of projects and to different deadlines.
  • Driven by achieving positive change, both in terms of improving our own work and achieving New Local’s broader political and societal goals.
  • A collaborative and supportive colleague, able to work in a highly creative environment that encourages excellence from all members of the team.

The organisation

New Local was founded in 1996.  There is currently a team of 15 staff at New Local.  New Local operates a ‘work anywhere’ policy but provides office space in London for those who require it.

We make every effort to live up to our four core values of being purposeful (i.e. focused on community power), adventurous, supportive towards colleagues and partners, and delivering excellence.

In addition to the advertised salary, we offer: 

  • A minimum of 27 days’ holiday a year and 10 days holiday over Christmas/New Year
  • Flexible working arrangements 
  • Family friendly leave
  • Health insurance and employee assistance scheme
  • Regular training opportunities 
  • A number of other benefits listed in the job description.
