Job description

Our new Finance and Commercial Director will be absolutely pivotal to the success of our transformation journey, ensuring we invest in our future and achieve progress on important areas such as sustainability and equity.

As an important member of the Executive team, you’ll create an environment of financial rigour and resilience, ensuring we adhere to all relevant legislation and regulations, and identifying the right investment profile to achieve our new 2025 strategy.

Responsible for c. £5m income and £4.4m expenditure, you’ll lead high-quality financial planning, budgeting, forecasting and reporting processes which support the delivery of our organisational strategy. This will include preparing management and annual accounts for both the charity and NCVO Trading Ltd. You’ll also be our first port of call for all legal, regulatory and compliance matters, including governance, audit and risk. You’ll manage our dedicated and expert finance, compliance and facilities teams, and will seek creative ways to maximise the return on our commercial activities, including lettings, conferences, training and events.

Candidates will bring impressive experience of leading a strategic finance function, along with extensive expertise in governance, compliance, audit and risk. Moreover, we’re looking for someone who understands the importance of personal leadership, influence, communication and engagement for change. We are building a future-focused new culture, rooted in our values, and you must have experience of delivering leadership in a comparable process. Uncompromising customer focus – whether internal or external customers – is essential.

Strong business acumen, political awareness and a clear understanding of what good governance looks like are all essential, and a detailed knowledge of the professional membership organisation model would be a distinct advantage. Able to summarise complex issues effectively, and inspire confidence even when change is uncomfortable, you’ll share our passionate commitment to the voluntary sector and will be hugely excited by this chance to realise even more of its potential.

NCVO is fully committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. We want this to be reflected in the diversity of the people who work for us. We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and identities. We particularly welcome applications from under-represented groups in the voluntary sector and those with diverse, lived experience.

Closing date: midnight, 24 November
