Head of Finance, HR & Procurement

Head of Finance, HR & Procurement required for a DMCS funded organisation.


I am currently recruiting on behalf of a £45m income organisation with a presence throughout the UK. This organisation is funded by DCMS and commercial activities. They have undergone a lot of change in recent years and responded well to the changing funding environment. They are seeking an experienced Finance and HR leader to join their prestigious organisation.

The Opportunity:

The Head of Finance, HR & Procurement will report to the Executive Director. This newly created role includes responsibility for six direct reports (four in Finance, two in HR, and one in Procurement) and approximately 17 indirect. Priorities will include providing leadership to your direct reports and improving the systems and processes of each team. The postholder will be part of the Senior Management team (Assistant Directors Group) and the role includes responsibility for delivering strategic initiatives. These will include the Financial Sustainability Strategy and an HR strategy to enable the organisation to best meet its key priorities and achieve business change. This is an opportunity to take on a broad role with real potential to impact this exciting organisation.


What you'll need to succeed:

The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant with previous experience in a similar role. You will not only be able to demonstrate financial leadership but also a practical understanding and experience of operational and strategic Human Resource management. An understanding of the charity and/or public sector but also of commercial considerations would also be an advantage. This is a leadership role and requires someone who has previously worked as part of a Senior Management Team. You will be a strong communicator with the ability to liaise across various stakeholder levels including influencing and winning support for new initiatives and projects.
