BACKGROUND
The latest research suggests that 2.7 million children are at risk of hunger, meaning one in five children don’t have enough to eat. When a child is too hungry to learn, they struggle to concentrate, absorb information, and manage their emotions, causing them to fall behind in their studies.
Magic Breakfast provides a nutritious breakfast to over 300,000 children and young people every school day. We work with schools in areas of high disadvantage, helping staff target the children most in need without barrier or stigma. We are now at an exciting point in our journey as we launch Nourishing Futures, our long-term strategy, which capitalises on market changes and government commitments to scale our work, while redefining breakfast spaces not just as places to eat, but as places to thrive.
To support the delivery of this strategy, we are evolving our Business Development function and creating a new Business Development Manager – Scotland role. This role will unlock opportunities in Scotland across public funding, trusts, foundations, philanthropy and partnerships, ensuring Magic Breakfast grows its income sustainably across devolved nations.
JOB PURPOSE
The Business Development Manager – Scotland will drive income growth and strategic partnerships in Scotland.

The postholder will work closely with the Head of Major Giving (Trusts & Philanthropy) and Head of Partnerships in England to ensure joined-up approaches, while developing extensive networks and relationships across Scotland’s funding and commissioning landscape.
This role is both externally focused — cultivating relationships with commissioners, funders, and partners — and internally collaborative, aligning with colleagues across Magic Breakfast to maximise opportunities and deliver against the organisation’s strategic plan.

-
Lead the preparation of tenders, bids and commissioned service proposals, ensuring they are compelling, evidence-led and costed appropriately to reflect the value of Magic Breakfast’s offer.
-
Ensure clear processes for the qualification, negotiation, contracting and reporting of income agreements, working closely with Finance, Service Delivery and Policy colleagues.

MSF UK has grown significantly over the past 5 years, almost doubling our income to just under £100m. MSF UK is entering an ambitious new strategic period to 2031, with a clear goal: to significantly grow our income and maximise the financial contribution we make to MSF’s medical humanitarian operations. Finance has a critical role to play in achieving this.
The Role
This is a newly created senior leadership role and a rare opportunity to shape how financial insight drives humanitarian impact.
As Head of Financial Planning & Analysis, you will build and lead MSF UK’s FP&A function, ensuring that resources are used wisely, investment decisions are evidence-based, and financial insight empowers colleagues to make the best possible decisions for our patients.
You will work at the heart of the organisation — partnering with senior leaders, fundraising teams and budget holders — to translate strategy into robust financial plans and ensure every pound raised delivers maximum impact.
What You’ll Do
You will lead MSF UK’s FP&A function to support better decisions, stronger financial sustainability and greater humanitarian impact. This includes:
- Driving strategic insight: providing clear financial analysis, modelling and advice to inform investment decisions, income growth and value for money.
- Leading planning and forecasting: owning MSF UK’s budgeting, reforecasting and multi-year financial planning processes.
- Strengthening financial reporting: ensuring timely, accurate and meaningful management accounts, KPIs and commentary for senior leaders and trustees.
- Partnering with the organisation: acting as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, managers and budget holders, strengthening financial literacy and accountability.
- Identifying efficiencies: working collaboratively to uncover opportunities for cost savings and improved use of resources.
- Building capability: line managing and developing the Finance Business Partner and continuously improving FP&A processes, tools and ways of working.
About You
You are a fully qualified accountant (CIMA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with significant experience in FP&A and a strong track record of using financial insight to influence decisions at senior level.
You combine technical excellence with empathy and purpose. You are comfortable working in complexity, skilled at explaining finance to non-financial colleagues, and motivated by using your expertise to support a mission that truly matters.
Why Join MSF UK?
You’ll join a values-driven organisation where finance is seen not just as a control function, but as a strategic enabler of humanitarian impact. You’ll be trusted to shape a function, influence decisions, and help ensure MSF reaches more patients, more effectively.
If you are motivated by MSF’s mission, thrive in collaborative environments, and want your financial leadership to make a tangible difference in the world, we would love to hear from you.
