- Drive collaboration between finance and operational teams to embed a commercial mindset and data-driven decision-making culture.
- Deliver accurate and timely management information, ensuring financial integrity and compliance with regulatory expectations.
- Identify risks and opportunities related to income and help shape strategies that enhance financial resilience and customer outcomes.
What We're Looking For
- A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with significant post-qualified experience in a senior finance role.
- Strong track record in income management, revenue forecasting, or financial strategy-preferably within housing, public sector, or regulated environments.
- Demonstrated ability to influence, challenge, and build credible relationships at all levels.
- Commercially minded with exceptional analytical, communication, and presentation skills.
- Advanced Excel user and familiar with financial systems, ideally within large, complex organisations.
- Passionate about social purpose with a drive to make housing fairer, more affordable, and sustainable.
