• Deliver board-level strategic insight, shaping the future of the organisation and driving growth.
• Flex up and down between a ‘doing’ role and a board-level role involved in decision making about the strategic direction of the organisation.

This role will suit someone who thrives on responsibility and wants to influence a whole organisation without being constrained by pre-existing structures. If you are someone who loves a challenge, is entrepreneurial, wants to think outside the box and be a disruptor, this could be the role for you! Oak is also open to someone stepping up from a Head Of role in a larger organisation into this as a first director position.

To be considered for this role, the successful candidate will:

• Be a fully qualified accountant, ideally with experience in housing or working within a regulated sector.
• Show the flexibility to move from high-level strategic decision making to rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck in to solve problems.
• Have managed teams previously and be able to demonstrate a track record of success.

Please contact Jamie Elliott at MLC Partners for an informal discussion about the role.
