You will provide expert support and advice to senior leaders, playing an integral role in their management team, presenting insightful analysis and management reports and providing leadership and advice on budget and forecast.  You will pro-actively identify risks and opportunities, suggest actions and mitigations, and influence senior leaders to take these forward in the best interests of the charity.  You will play a leading role in the development of forecasting models and KPIs for Engagement & Fundraising activities and income streams and become a trusted expert adviser. 

You are a qualified accountant with a proactive, curious and thorough approach and experience working collaboratively in a business partnering environment, providing support and advice to stakeholders at all levels.  You have excellent communication skills and are able to influence and confidently challenge others to make the best decisions for the organisation.

You have experience supporting engagement and fundraising teams with insightful financial analysis and fundraising models and an understanding of related key issues such as restricted funds. You work flexibly in a busy environment and manage conflicting demands by prioritising the most urgent needs of the organisation.  It would be desirable for you to have some line management and coaching experience but this is not essential.
