Permanent, Full-time
Ref: TG654198

We’re looking for an experienced and qualified Financial Controller to lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose. This is a unique opportunity to join one of the world’s leading cultural institutions and play a central role in managing its financial operations. You’ll bring a recognised accountancy qualification and a proven ability to navigate complex financial environments, offering strategic insight and operational excellence.

Your leadership will inspire and develop a diverse team, fostering an inclusive and respectful culture. With strong interpersonal skills, you’ll work closely with senior stakeholders and support non-financial colleagues across the organisation. You’ll have deep expertise in financial systems, reporting, and taxation—including PAYE and VAT—and a passion for continuous improvement. If you’re ready to make a meaningful impact and share in Tate’s commitment to creativity, accessibility, and innovation, we’d love to hear from you.

First-round interviews are scheduled for 31 July and 1 August 2025. Candidates progressing to the next stage will be invited to a second-round interview, with further details provided in due course.

Frequently, we receive a high level of applications and as such, reserve the right to close applications before the advert deadline. To avoid disappointment, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. 

Our jobs are like our galleries, open to all.

Tate offers a range of benefits, including 25 days annual leave entitlement, rising to 27 days pro rata after 3 years of service; an extra day off for your birthday each year; a cycle to work scheme; opportunities for blended and flexible working; free access to Tate exhibitions and other museums and galleries; Life Assurance; and a ‘Defined Contribution’ pension scheme with generous employer contributions. Successful candidates who are already members of the Civil Service Pension Scheme or have recently left the scheme may be eligible to remain as members of this scheme instead.

Closing date: 24 July 2025
