You'll lead:

• Our long-term financial strategy and organisational planning.
• Annual budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting.
• Financial sustainability across both restricted and unrestricted funding.
• Board reporting and support to our Finance, Audit & Risk Committee.
• Risk management, company secretarial and organisational compliance.
• Finance, Operations and HR leadership.
• Grant budgeting, reporting and organisational cost recovery.
• Strategic planning that enables teams to maximise their impact.

This is a role for someone equally comfortable presenting to Trustees, supporting colleagues with complex funding proposals, reviewing organisational risk, or rolling up their sleeves to solve operational challenges.

Who we're looking for

You're an experienced finance leader who understands that great organisations need both strong financial stewardship and ambitious thinking.

You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with senior leadership experience and an ability to balance strategic oversight with practical delivery.

You'll bring:

• Significant experience leading finance within a complex organisation.
• Strong understanding of charity finance and grant management.
• Experience working with Boards and Trustees.
• Outstanding planning, analytical and leadership skills.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to build trusted relationships across an organisation.

Most importantly, you'll share our commitment to equity, inclusion and creating positive change. We're looking for someone who sees finance not as a control function, but as a catalyst for organisational impact.

Why Bond?

Everything we do is rooted in collaboration.

You'll join an organisation that believes lasting change happens when people come together, share expertise and challenge one another to do better.

Alongside meaningful work, we offer:

• Hybrid working with flexibility built around trust.
• 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, a day off for your birthday and additional Christmas closure.
• 7% employer pension contribution.
• Learning and development opportunities.
• Comprehensive health and wellbeing support.
• A welcoming, inclusive and values-driven culture where everyone can thrive.

Join us

This is more than a finance leadership role. It's an opportunity to help strengthen the organisations working to build a fairer, more sustainable world.

If you're looking for a role where your financial expertise can support meaningful change on a national and global scale, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and a supporting statement explaining why you'd like to join Bond and what you'll bring to the role.

We are partnering exclusively with Bryony Thomas at Allen Lane. For an informal conversation about the role, get in touch via the agency website.
