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:

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

- Proven ability to lead and develop teams, and to build collaborative relationships across an organisation.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to translate financial information for non-finance colleagues.
- A proactive and solutions-focused mindset, with experience of leading change.

As well as providing tailored support, we aim to speak up for the rights of women to live lives free from abuse.
