Financial Controller
Oxford
We are looking for our new Financial Controller: someone who takes pride in running an excellent finance operation and who enjoys being closely involved in the life of a college.
This is a senior role at the heart of the College’s professional services team. Reporting to the Treasurer, the Financial Controller leads the College’s finance function and ensures the delivery of high-quality financial management, reporting and control across the organisation.
We are looking for someone with substantial experience of running a highly effective finance operation, but who is also curious and interested in the wider context of the organisation they support. College life is varied and dynamic, and the finance team plays an important role in supporting activity across academic, operational and commercial areas of the College.
You will be a key member of the Treasurer’s senior management team and the operational lead for the College’s finance function. Senior colleagues across the College look to the Financial Controller for sound financial advice as they develop plans and initiatives, and the role provides an opportunity to contribute to decision-making across a wide range of activities.
You will lead a finance and payroll team of nine staff (6 FTE) and will be responsible for the integrity of the College’s financial reporting, control environment and systems. The role also involves working closely with the Governing Body and its committees, providing clear and insightful financial information that supports effective governance and stewardship of the College’s resources.
Just as important as technical expertise is how we work together. Our finance team is collaborative, supportive and collegiate in the best sense of the word. We take pride in delivering high-quality work, but we also value openness, mutual support and a willingness to help colleagues across the College navigate financial matters. We are looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, working constructively with others and contributing positively to the culture of the team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced finance professional who enjoys combining strong financial management with meaningful involvement in the life of an institution.
We recognise that excellent candidates do not always meet every requirement listed in a job description. If you feel that your experience and skills would enable you to succeed in this role, we would be very pleased to hear from you.
We welcome applications from candidates with experience across a range of sectors who are interested in contributing to the work of the College.
For further information on this opportunity, please contact Rosemary Pini at Allen Lane, who is supporting on this appointment and would be happy to discuss the role in more detail.
