Job description

About Us

The MacRobert Trust is rooted in the enduring vision of Lady Rachel MacRobert. Guided by our three MacRobert Pillars and our bold 10-year strategy, we invest in initiatives that deliver lasting social, environmental and economic benefit.

From managing our estate and charitable activities to operating our country house hotel, Douneside House, we are a dynamic and evolving organisation with a strong heritage and a forward-looking ambition.

The Opportunity

This is a pivotal senior leadership role, working closely with the CEO, Board and Senior Management Team to ensure the Trust remains financially robust, strategically focused and operationally effective.

You will:

  • Provide strong financial leadership, governance and assurance
  • Lead and mentor a high-performing finance team
  • Deliver insightful reporting, planning and long-term financial strategy
  • Partner across the organisation to strengthen business performance
  • Oversee governance, risk and (when required) company secretarial duties
  • Lead strategic oversight of IT and Marketing systems and external partners
  • Support commercial performance, including our hotel trading subsidiary
  • Drive continuous improvement across systems, processes and reporting

This is a broad, hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys operating both strategically and operationally in a small, collaborative organisation.

About You

We are seeking an experienced finance professional with strong leadership abilities, exceptional business partnering skills, and advanced analytical expertise. The ideal candidate is commercially minded, demonstrates logical thinking, and is comfortable looking beyond the numbers to gain a deeper understanding of both the business and the people shaping it.

Knowledge, Qualifications and Experience

  • Professionally qualified accountant (CA, CIPFA, CIMA, ACCA or equivalent).
  • Operated at senior management level; demonstrable cross-organisational management beyond one function.
  • Proven experience leading or co-leading change/transformations.
  • Strong systems background/interest, with proven experience in delivering systems changes or improvements.
  • Experience in governance accountability.

Desirable

  • Understanding of wider organisational systems (risk, H&S, payroll).
  • Previous experience in wider business activities such as IT and marketing.

Experience across governance, IT, marketing or wider operational oversight would be advantageous.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to influence strategy and deliver meaningful impact within a values-led organisation.

We offer:

  • Competitive salary
  • 30 days’ annual leave rising to 38 days
  • 9% employer pension contribution
  • Income protection and life insurance
  • Enhanced family and sick pay
  • Paid volunteer leave
  • Professional membership support
  • Complimentary access to our on-site health club and swimming pool

The role is primarily based at our Estate Office in Tarland, Aberdeenshire — ideal for someone who values access to the countryside and a unique working environment.
