Job Title: Head of Finance
Contract type: Permanent
Starting date: ASAP (December 2020 - January 2021)
Department: Finance
Line Manager: Chief Executive Officer
Location: London office, Old Street. We are temporarily working from home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hours of work: 1.0 FTE (equivalent 37.5 hours per week)
Benefits: 5% employer pension contribution, 28 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays and additional closure days in December
Application deadline: 10:00 (UK) Monday 16th November 2020
We are looking for a Head of Finance who is excited to work at an organisation which values the following principles:
1. Fairness, openness and decency: As the Head of Department with accountability for finance across the organisation, your role will be to ensure that our financial policies, procedures and systems are robust yet workable – for our staff, for beneficiaries and other stakeholders. You will value ‘diversity’ in its widest sense, and will be an ‘enabler’, working with the CEO and Leadership Team to provide clear financial analysis and embed sound financial practice into day to day decision-making. You’ll provide proactive support and guidance to your colleagues, and will strive to make ‘finance’ a positive, empowering and engaging experience. You will be a fair, supportive and enthusiastic leader of your team, providing leadership and guidance on personal, professional and technical development.
2. Ensuring our programmes are helping to challenge injustice and inequality: We must use our organisation’s financial resources in the best way possible to deliver maximum impact for our beneficiaries. As a key member of the Leadership Team, you will work with your colleagues to ensure that we develop trainings and programmes which are founded on sound financial principles and an informed understanding of costs and pricing. In close liaison with the CEO, you will be excited at the prospect of seeking and developing partnerships with funders which focus on effective, efficient and impactful use of funds, supported by clear and timely reporting. You will relish the opportunity to guide the Trustees in their strategic finance and business planning discussions, providing insightful management and monitoring information which highlights challenges and risks, as well as opportunities.
3. Balancing process and pragmatism: As a relatively small but ambitious and growing organisation, we know that we have to make trade-offs about what to prioritise. We need to mitigate and minimise financial risks where we can, and build a sustainable financial base, culture and systems to support our plans for the future. As an experienced Head of Finance, you will have a keen understanding of the critical balance between prudence, financial control, bureaucracy and the need for ‘audit trails’, whilst encouraging flexibility, responsiveness and innovation. Engaging your colleagues – especially those who are not primarily in a ‘finance’ role or confident about ‘finance’ – will be crucial in helping you to successfully address this part of your role.
4. Supporting a learning approach and encouraging innovation: We need to be nimble and keen to try new things, but also quick to understand if they are successful or not. You will draw on your expertise and creativity to actively seek opportunities to ‘do things better’ whether in relation to advising on financial governance and compliance, or through considering changes to the organisation’s financial processes and systems. You will seek and value the views of your colleagues and key stakeholders, and will work collaboratively with the Head of Operations and other Leadership Team members to collectively address concerns and to continually look for opportunities to champion financial best practice.
5. Passion for our purpose: Whilst we believe that it is not crucial to have experience within any particular sector, it is important that every member of our senior team has a passion, and optimism, for our mission and ways of working. As Head of Finance you will be passionate about conveying Campaign Bootcamp’s story and call for action ‘through’ and ‘beyond’ the numbers – whether that’s in relation to the information on our website, reports for funders, regular management reports, or the annual statutory reporting process.
