CIPD is the professional body for HR and people development. We champion better work and working lives and support a global community of people professionals to make a positive difference to organisations and the people who work within them.
We are looking for a Financial Controller to join us at an important time for CIPD and our Finance team.
Reporting to the Finance Director and managing four direct reports, you will take responsibility for financial control across the organisation and our international entities.
There is a lot happening at CIPD. We are changing some of our core systems, including those supporting our membership and qualifications, and we want to use this as an opportunity to improve the way Finance works across the organisation.
The Financial Controller will be central to this.
You will lead on financial controls, statutory reporting and audit, treasury, cash management and the integrity of our balance sheet and ledgers. Just as importantly, we want you to look at how we do things today and help us make them better – strengthening processes, improving controls and making sure we get the most from our systems (Netsuite and Salesforce).
This is a hands-on role. We aren't looking for someone who wants to manage from a distance. You will need to be comfortable getting into the detail, understanding where something isn't working and seeing it through to resolution. At the same time, you'll lead and develop a team of eight, helping them take greater ownership and continue to raise standards across the function.
You will also work closely with the Head of FP&A and colleagues across CIPD. A big part of the role will be building good relationships outside Finance and helping people understand why strong financial management matters.
About you
You will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with strong technical accounting knowledge and experience of working in a complex organisation.
You'll have a good grounding in financial control and statutory reporting, but we're particularly interested in people who have improved things rather than simply maintained them.
You may have strengthened a control environment, improved a year-end process, introduced better balance sheet disciplines, supported a finance system implementation or redesigned financial processes. You'll understand what good looks like and be able to bring people with you when things need to change.
You'll also be an experienced people manager. We want someone who enjoys developing a team, sets clear expectations and is prepared to roll their sleeves up when needed.
Experience of working across multiple entities or international operations would be valuable, as would experience of NetSuite, Salesforce or finance transformation.
Why join CIPD?
This is a good opportunity for someone who wants to have a genuine influence on a finance function.
There is already a clear direction of travel, but there is plenty still to do. You'll have the backing of the Finance Director to challenge how things are done, improve processes and controls and help develop a finance function that is fit for the future.
And you'll be doing that within an organisation with a clear purpose.
The work CIPD does ultimately comes back to improving people's experience of work. As Financial Controller, you will make sure we have the strong financial management, controls and systems needed to support that work.
For someone who enjoys getting the detail right, developing people and making things better, there is a lot to get stuck into.
We reserve the right to close the process early and, as such, an early application is highly recommended.

About Migrateful
Migrateful is an award-winning charity supporting refugees, asylum seekers and migrants on their journey to integration and employment.
Our cookery classes enable our chefs to share their cultures and cuisines, develop skills and confidence, and create meaningful connections with the wider community.
About the Role
We are looking for an organised, practical and proactive candidate to take day-to-day operational ownership of the Migrateful Cookery School in Farringdon and coordinate the effective operation of our network of venues across London.
A key focus will be introducing a Venue Champion model, where designated facilitators undertake agreed routine checks and practical tasks at external venues. With support from the Operations Support Officer, you will establish and coordinate this approach, while retaining overall oversight of venue standards and stepping in when additional intervention is needed.
You will also coordinate the operational onboarding of new venues and support the planned refurbishment of the Cookery School.
This is a varied, hands-on role combining venue operations, coordination, problem-solving and continuous improvement.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Cookery School Operations
Take day-to-day operational ownership of the Migrateful Cookery School.
Ensure the space, equipment, ingredients, recipes and resources are ready for classes and ad hoc events.
Coordinate repairs, maintenance, cleaning and facilities requirements, working with building management, contractors and cleaning providers.
Maintain effective systems for stock, storage, equipment, consumables and procurement.
Identify and resolve operational issues to ensure the space works effectively for chefs, facilitators, volunteers and staff.
Coordinate the planned Cookery School refurbishment, working with contractors, suppliers and colleagues to minimise disruption and ensure the space is ready for reopening.
2. External Venue Coordination
Maintain operational oversight of Migrateful's external London venues.
Maintain venue-specific equipment, kit and operational requirements, with planned schedules for checks, maintenance and resets.
Monitor venue readiness, facilitator feedback and outstanding issues and coordinate appropriate action.
Maintain effective relationships with venue contacts and undertake periodic quality assurance visits where required.
3. Venue Champion Coordination
Venue Champions undertake agreed routine practical tasks, while the Venues Coordinator retains overall oversight of venue standards and the systems supporting them.
With support from the Operations Support Officer, recruit and train Venue Champions from Migrateful's facilitator pool and provide clear guidance for the role.
Establish equipment lists, checklists and schedules for venue checks, kit cleaning and resets.
Monitor completion of agreed tasks and coordinate follow-up, maintenance or equipment replacement where required.
4. New Venue Onboarding
Assess new venues and establish equipment, storage, logistics, food safety and operational requirements.
Coordinate procurement, setup, documentation and facilitator onboarding, resolving issues during initial classes.
Identify and train a Venue Champion and transition established venues into the ongoing venue-management system.
5. Health, Safety & Quality
Maintain appropriate Health & Safety, food safety and allergen systems, documentation and checks.
Ensure facilitators and Venue Champions understand the procedures relevant to their roles.
Coordinate equipment safety and compliance requirements and identify, track and escalate risks appropriately.
6. Systems, Procurement & Continuous Improvement
Manage relevant supplier relationships and monitor expenditure within agreed budgets.
Identify opportunities to simplify, standardise or digitise processes and reduce unnecessary manual work.
Maintain clear records so operational information is accessible, consistent and shared across the team.
Scope and Boundaries
The Venues Coordinator is responsible for the systems, standards and coordination that support effective venue management. They are not expected to personally undertake every routine task at every external venue.
Venue Champions provide local practical support and routine monitoring, with the Venues Coordinator responding to escalated issues and undertaking periodic quality assurance checks.
Reasonable changes may be made to the responsibilities of the role as Migrateful develops, following consultation with the postholder.
Working Hours & Out-of-Hours Support
Migrateful delivers cookery classes during evenings and weekends, so some operational issues may arise outside normal office hours.
The postholder will participate in a shared Operations Team out-of-hours rota. When rostered, they will provide first-line support for urgent operational issues affecting class delivery, escalating where appropriate.
The rota will be scheduled in advance. Expectations around availability, response times, escalation and working time/TOIL will be set out in Migrateful's Out-of-Hours Support procedure.
About You
We are looking for someone who:
Has experience in kitchen, hospitality, venue, facilities or operational coordination, with a good understanding of Food Safety, Health & Safety and allergen management.
Is highly organised and able to coordinate multiple venues, priorities and people while ensuring spaces are safe, well equipped and ready for classes.
Takes a practical, proactive and solution-focused approach, with high standards of cleanliness and attention to detail.
Communicates confidently and builds effective relationships with a diverse range of people, including facilitators, suppliers and venue partners.
Can develop and maintain clear operational systems, identify issues early and make practical improvements to how things are managed.
Is comfortable working independently, using initiative and coordinating others, including Venue Champions.
Is flexible about travelling between London venues, undertaking hands-on practical tasks and participating in the shared out-of-hours rota.
