About Tommy’s
Tommy’s is the UK’s leading pregnancy research charity. For over 30 years, we’ve worked to stop the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss and to make pregnancy and birth safe—for everyone. Founded by two obstetricians in a hospital cupboard, we have grown into the largest UK charity funder of pregnancy research, shaping national guidelines, funding pioneering clinics, and supporting families at every stage of their journey.
Our mission is simple but ambitious: to save babies’ lives. We do this through world-leading research, expert information, partnerships with the NHS, and campaigning for policy change. Every year we fund four major research centres, provide trusted pregnancy support to thousands, and lead campaigns that challenge inequities in maternity care.
The next stage of our journey is about driving even greater impact. We are focused on four priorities:

• Growing evidence, because baby loss is not inevitable.
• Improving care, so everyone receives the support they deserve.
• Tackling inequalities, because all families deserve the same chance of a healthy pregnancy.
• Mobilising for change, to make pregnancy safer nationwide.

About the Role
As Head of Finance, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring Tommy’s financial sustainability and long-term success. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, you will lead and develop a high-performing finance team, oversee strategic financial planning and reporting, and drive forward a programme of finance transformation.
This is a hands-on yet strategic role, offering the chance to shape financial systems and processes, strengthen financial literacy across the organisation, and ensure robust compliance and control. You’ll be a trusted partner to the leadership team, providing insight and challenge to help Tommy’s deliver its ambitious goals.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop the finance function, ensuring strong financial stewardship and organisational accountability.
• Deliver accurate and timely management accounts, budgets, forecasts, and statutory reporting.
• Oversee financial controls, operations, audit, and compliance, ensuring best practice in charity accounting, taxation, and investment management.
• Partner with leaders across the organisation, building financial capability and supporting effective decision-making.
• Drive the transformation of finance systems and processes, including the implementation of a new finance system.

What We’re Looking For

• A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Strong technical knowledge of finance operations, governance, and compliance, ideally within the charity sector.
• Proven ability to lead and develop teams, and to build collaborative relationships across an organisation.
