If you’re looking for a role where your financial expertise can support meaningful, long-term change, this is an opportunity to play a key role in supporting strong governance and the effective use of charitable resources.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll bring strong experience in financial management, ideally within a charity or complex organisation. You’ll be comfortable working across multiple priorities and able to communicate clearly with people who don’t have a finance background.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Can balance detail with the bigger picture
• Builds trusted relationships across different stakeholders
• Brings sound judgement and confidence in decision-making
• Is comfortable working independently while staying connected to a wider team
• Has an interest in the role of finance within organisations that exist to serve others, and is comfortable working in a complex environment with different stakeholders and ways of working

You don’t need to have followed a single, traditional career path. If you bring strong financial expertise and can see how your experience connects to this work, we want to hear from you.

Timing
We’re looking to fill one of these roles immediately and welcome applications from candidates available to start on short notice. A second hire will follow the recruitment timeline outlined on Peridot Partners’ site, with a closing date of 9 a.m. Tuesday 5th May.
