Our Head of Operations, Compliance & Finance role is a new senior management position in the IBD Registry that reflects both our fast growth and increasing maturity. The primary function of this role is the effective management, development and delivery of the key strategic business operations that underpin our work. The wide range of business operations including contracts and performance (grants, clients, suppliers and staff), compliance (data protection, client deliverables reporting, and pharmaceutical industry), staffing (from recruitment onwards) and finance (financial reporting and from budgets, both the main company budget and specific project budgets).  

You will be part of a small and growing and highly collaborative team, reporting directly to and working closely with the CEO.  You will support the CEO with critical operational reporting, in strategic development, taking delegated responsibility for team management and acting as deputy CEO when required.  You will be supported in your work with high-quality advice from our retained specialists in HR, Information Governance, Legal and Accountancy; and operationally within the team by team members who cover the day to day functions including financial and office management, and corporate and healthdata IT.

Galop has grown significantly in the last 4 years with the income level of the organisation going from £0.32 million and 3.8 f.t.e to £1.6 million and 22.5 f.t.e. To account for this growth and support the future development of the organisation Galop undertook a restructuring exercise.  Within the restructure it was recognised that an in house dedicated staffing resource to hold the day-to-day responsibility for the operations management function was necessary and the Operations manager is now a key role in Galop’s Management team.

Our partnership with Southwark Law Centre to set up a new Lewisham Law Service is also developing well, with plans to further fundraise to deliver an employment and immigration service in the borough.

Future strategy will focus on developing our fundraising to develop wider services to meet the increasing need in the local community, and developing our digital strategy to maximise access and improve the customer journey experience.

As Treasurer you will apply your financial skills to ensure excellent financial governance, working effectively with the dedicated Board and Chief Executive, and make a difference to the lives of people in the local community.

If you can demonstrate the required attributes for the role in the role description, we would love to hear to hear from you.
