Robertson Bell are exclusively partnering with Look Ahead Care and Support to recruit a Senior Finance Business Partner for their fast-paced Finance team. Look Ahead is a unique organisation that provides specialist services across four key demographics: Learning Disabilities, Homelessness, Mental Health, and Care Leavers. Their turnover has grown steadily over the last 10 years and is now approaching £70m, with the majority of their income coming from providing care and support to some of the most vulnerable in society.

With head offices near Westminster and Pimlico station in Central London, the role of the Senior Finance Business Partner reports to the Director of Finance and acts as the "face" of finance, operating in a highly visible position by regularly visiting budget holders to be a true Partner, bridging the gap between Finance and the outside business. You will oversee a team responsible for the production of management accounts and providing financial information to aid senior management's decision making.

Additional key accountabilities include:

• Providing exceptional business partnering support to the Care directorate, including key contacts at Deputy Director, Heads of, and Contract Manager levels; building strong relationships and being face-to-face around the business to provide tailored support for non-financially minded budget holders
• Managing a team of four, consisting of one Finance Business Partner and three Assistant Management Accountants, mentoring each member of staff and providing them with tailored support to encourage their career development
• Support the business through high-level financial modelling of various contract scenarios, assessing financial viability and operating efficiency of schemes and appraising opportunities for new business, as well as existing contracts
• Developing efficiency within the budgeting and forecasting process, identifying ways to improve reporting capability to provide greater support to strategic and operational decision making
• Heading up the Management Accounting function, writing reports for Senior Leadership Team on the Housing, Support and Care directorates, overseeing the preparation of monthly management accounts for the Senior Management Team, including the provision of commentary and analysis.

Look Ahead is an organisation unlike any other - its range of services and focus on service users mean that while following Housing SORP, they operate in many respects like a commercial organisation. This role should therefore appeal to candidates who want to work in the not-for-profit sector whilst maintaining the pace, drive and commerciality of a large business.

In due course, this role has the potential to grow into a more senior role and take on more responsibility across finance as you develop underneath a supportive Director of Finance. On offer is an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, as well as the opportunity to buy and sell annual leave. You will have a flexible working location, based from head offices that are clean, bright and welcoming.

To be considered, you'll need to meet the following minimum criteria:

• Be a fully qualified accountant who has exceptional communication skills
• Demonstrate experience of successfully providing business partnering support within a complex organisation and wide-ranging levels of budget holder interaction
• Have high-level financial modelling expertise and a proven ability to use the output to influence strategic decision making
• Previous management experience is not essential, however the desire and ability to lead a team is! You will have the confidence to be a strong people manager who can lead staff at a mix of levels and abilities.

The closing date for applications is midnight on Sunday 1st December 2019, with interviews for successful applicants being arranged shortly afterwards. Applications are now under continual review, so if you meet the minimum criteria, please apply now through the link below.

About the charity

Social entrepreneurs co-founded WE and WE Charity, an international charity and educational partner, 20 years ago. They have grown it into a family of organisations across a number of countries, linked by their shared mission: WE makes doing good, doable.

WE Schools are academic programmes run in schools globally, including 3,000 primary and secondary schools in the UK. The programmes give children (and their teachers) the skills, knowledge and motivation to bring positive change in themselves and the world. The WE Schools programme is proven to increase academic engagement, active citizenship and university and workplace readiness. 

WE Villages is a five-pillar international development model bringing positive change in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Through education, water, health, opportunity and food programmes, WE tackle poverty holistically and for sustained change in the communities in which they work. The impact is impressive and is a useful tool to showcase their work. 

WE Day is a celebration of the WE movement, and an opportunity to celebrate the young people who have made a difference. It is truly unique: you can’t buy a ticket, you must be invited, and it attracts world-renowned speakers, performers, celebrities and real-life impact stories. From a fundraising perspective, WE Day is also a useful hook for potential partners.

Virgin Atlantic funded the establishment of WE Charity’s London office almost 10 years ago. Corporate and foundation support continues to make up most of the UK voluntary income, such as the Virgin Atlantic Foundation, the #iwill Fund, Boots, Unilever and the Rumi Foundation. Income has hovered around the £3m mark for the past four years, but with some contracts coming to an end in 2021, a bigger focus is needed on new business development in the coming years. Targeting large global brands is key.

Job description

WE Charity are looking for a Director of Business Development to manage a Business Development Manager. Together you will be responsible for all prospecting, new approaches, networking, pitching and securing of new significant corporate partnerships. Some of this will be foundations work, but mostly you will be looking at marketing or strategic partnerships.

The charity have some fantastic products. These include Track Your Impact, a fantastic tool which means consumers can purchase a CRM product (either made through the WE social enterprise, or one of the retailer’s own products), as well as WE Day (see above).

The pipeline has been established, with five or six potential partners which look promising, and a wishlist of ideal partners. The team are organised and meticulous with their pipeline tracking on Salesforce, so the new Director of Business Development should be able to get to grips with ongoing conversations quickly. The postholder will start working on big and long-term prospects, rather than going after quick wins straight away.

WE Charity need a first-rate specialist fundraiser to help them on their journey. They expect to continue the rapid trajectory of growth, and in years to come this role could also oversee wider fundraising elements, including statutory, trusts and foundations, and philanthropy.

The Director of Business Development should be personally leading new business development, and ideally will be out at meetings, pitches and/or networking opportunities as much as possible. Some leads will be warm (made through connections, major donor work, trustees, founders and Canadian contacts) but the postholder needs to be equally comfortable going after cold prospects if there is a strategic fit. The role is very senior in order to be able to have the gravitas and confidence to negotiate and influence at C-suite level.

Candidate requirements

Experience

• Significant experience of corporate partnerships/CSR
• Track record of securing significant partnerships, ideally global
• Exceptional pitching and presenting skills
• Competent networker and relationship builder
• Comfortable with travel

Personality

• Highly proactive and self-starting
• Collaborative and flexible
• Enjoys prospecting opportunities
• Professional
• Adaptable
• Cause-driven

WE Charity is a vibrant, purpose-driven, fast-paced, highly dynamic organisation. It is successful around the globe but has retained its start-up feel. The charity aims high, is run by highly influential founder-directors, and has a strong mission and ambitious culture.

Having been founded by a 12-year-old who was frustrated at the responses to his ideas for good, there is a culture of collaboration and encouraging ideas. Confident, intelligent, creative individuals thrive in this environment.

The Director of Business Development will visit international work in the field a few times a year, as well as meetings in North America. They will also be asked to spend some time at the WE global headquarters in Toronto, Canada at the beginning of their employment, for training and induction.

To apply for this role, please click Apply with Charityjob to submit your CV to Emily Birch at QuarterFive Fundraising Recruitment. If your experience is a good fit, we will send you a job description and arrange a briefing call or meeting that will provide you with all the information required to formally apply.
