About the role
The Academy runs some of the most valued grant schemes and development programmes in UK biomedical and health research. Springboard Awards help researchers establish their independence. Starter Grants keep talented clinicians in research alongside their clinical work. Leadership programmes like FLIER develop people who can work across academia, healthcare and industry to tackle real-world challenges, and alongside these sit opportunities to spend time working in industry, the NHS or government. Moving between sectors should be a normal part of a medical research career (it is not yet), and much of our work is built with that belief: a more connected and mobile workforce is better able to turn discovery into benefit. Between them, these schemes change the course of people's careers, and the research they enable reaches patients across the UK and beyond.
This role leads that portfolio. The heart of the job is excellent delivery: schemes that are well designed and well run, and that make a real difference to the people they reach. You will work closely with the Fellowship, whose expertise and generosity run through the whole portfolio, and you will make sure the schemes serve the whole of the medical sciences community (across the devolved nations and the regions, in industry as much as academia), not just those already inside the most established institutions. And science is global, so this work is too: the portfolio draws on evidence and partnerships from around the world, and the mentoring and networks around the people we support reach well beyond the UK.
Today much of the portfolio's focus is research talent and careers. That will always be a substantial part of the portfolio, but over time we plan to expand it further. That expansion could go in several directions, and what matters is that we are taking an evidence-based approach to ensure that our efforts are responding to what the medical sciences sector needs. Whatever we launch next, the same principles apply; good design, sound funding, proper governance and solid evaluation, with our effort concentrated where it delivers the most impact. So, the job is twofold: run today's portfolio brilliantly and build the future portfolio. It is a role where you can see your work land in people's lives, with real scope to shape what comes next. And none of it stands alone: what we learn from the people we fund sharpens our policy voice, the community our programmes build strengthens our engagement and public trust work, and insight flows back the other way to shape what we design next.
As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will share in the leadership of the Academy as a whole, working closely with the other directors: the Chief Operating Officer and the Directors of Policy, Communications and Engagement, and Translation and Enterprise. The relationship with Translation and Enterprise matters especially. That team will shape new partnerships and initiatives that your team is best placed to deliver, so the two of you will work in very close partnership.
What we are looking for
These are the six areas we will explore with candidates. They match the six parts of the role above, so you can read straight across — and your supporting statement can follow the same structure if that helps. We do not expect anyone to arrive with every part fully formed, but the strongest candidates will be convincing across most of them.
1. Excellent delivery
A strong track record of running grant schemes or of significant programmatic delivery. Much of this is operational: holding an annual cycle to time and budget, catching problems early and getting stuck things moving again. It is also about making sure the portfolio adds up to a coherent whole rather than a collection of separate schemes, with the governance discipline — sound contracts, clean compliance, rigorous oversight — that sits behind delivery done well.
2. Building partnerships and negotiating well
A track record of building and sustaining partnerships with funders, delivery organisations and industry, and the skill and pace to turn them into agreements where appropriate. We will want to hear how you have handled a complex negotiation and brought it to a close. The Chief Operating Officer leads the Academy’s income strategy, so we will also explore how you develop partners in concert with colleagues.
3. Range and credibility across the community
This role runs from Fellows (some of the most eminent scientists in the country) to researchers at the very start of their careers, and from government and funders to industry partners. We are looking for someone with the range to work well across all of them, and the credibility to be taken seriously at every level. We will also explore how you have widened access and drawn talent in from beyond the usual places.
4. A focus on impact
A commitment to looking at what difference the portfolio you lead makes. We are looking for someone who treats evaluation as a source of learning and uses what it shows to decide what the Academy should do next, keeping sight of the people and patients the work is for.
5. Leading and empowering people
A brilliant leader of people: someone who gets the best from a talented team by giving them space and ownership, backing them with real support and coaching, and building a culture where people thrive and develop.
6. Collective leadership
As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you would share responsibility for the Academy as a whole, not only your own directorate. We want someone who takes that seriously, brings challenge where it is needed, backs colleagues when it counts, and helps make the Academy a brilliant place to work.

QCCA has served Camden’s communities for more than 40 years.
Today we support more than 3,000 local residents every year through:
- Youth Services

- Family Support
- Two successful children’s nurseries
- Community facilities
- Health and wellbeing programmes
- Employment and skills initiatives
With an annual income approaching £2 million, multiple community sites and exciting plans for further growth, we’re investing in a modern finance function that supports excellent decision-making and long-term sustainability.
Why This Role Is Different
This isn’t a traditional Finance Manager role.
Yes, you’ll oversee management accounts, budgets and audit preparation.
But you’ll also have the opportunity to:
- Transform our finance systems.
- Lead our migration from QuickBooks to Xero.
- Introduce smarter digital processes.
- Improve financial reporting.
- Build dashboards that help managers make better decisions.
- Work directly with the Chief Executive and Board of Trustees.
- Influence organisational strategy.
- Help shape the future of one of Camden’s leading community charities.
You’ll have the freedom to improve how we work—not simply maintain existing processes.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll provide strategic financial leadership while leading the modernisation of QCCA’s finance systems.
Working closely with our Chief Executive and Senior Management Team, you’ll:
- Lead the migration from QuickBooks to Xero (or an agreed cloud accounting platform).
- Produce insightful monthly management accounts and financial reports.
- Develop budgets, forecasts and financial models.
- Present financial information to Trustees and senior managers.
- Improve financial systems, controls and reporting.
- Introduce automation and digital workflows.
- Support commercial income generation and grant-funded projects.
- Lead the annual audit process.
- Line manage and develop our Finance Assistants.
- Help build a finance function fit for the future.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who enjoys making organisations better.
You’ll probably have experience of:
- Charity finance.
- Management accounting.
- Budgeting and forecasting.
- Audit preparation.
- Financial controls.
- Cloud accounting systems (Xero experience is highly desirable).
- Leading change and improving systems.
- Supporting non-finance managers.
- Working collaboratively with senior leaders and Trustees.
Most importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys solving problems, embracing technology and helping organisations grow.
We ask you to apply by sending us your CV and cover letter (2 pages) demonstrating your experience.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Do you want to make a difference every day? Do you want to contribute to change & improvement for those who need it?
Do you have resilience & adaptability? Can you work effectively with a focus on customer service and care?
If yes, then we'd love to hear from you…
