One of only three clubs to have been a founder member of both the Football League and Premier League, Everton has played more games in English football's topflight than any other club.

While rightly proud of our rich past, and Goodison Park, our home of more than 130 years, we are now setting our sights on an exciting future at a state-of-the-art new stadium opening in summer 2025.

In doing so, we remain committed to developing and supporting teams across our Men’s, Women’s and Academy set-ups that inspire and continue to compete at the highest level of the game.

About the opportunity: At Everton Football Club, we are currently embarking on one of the most significant and exciting chapters in our history.

• Managing the stadium’s capital expenditure program, ensuring alignment with overall business objectives and long-term financial goals
• Developing and maintaining detailed budgets and regularly reporting on performance against these metrics.
• Providing regular updates on the stadium’s progress and finances to senior management and the board of directors

Who we are looking for: Essentially, we are looking for someone who is ACA or CIMA qualified, who has proven experience/strong knowledge of the financial environment relating to the operation of Football Clubs.

You must have extensive knowledge, experience and practical application of accountancy within a football environment and be comfortable working with a wide variety of demands and be flexible enough to meet and exceed challenging objectives and targets that contribute significantly to organisational performance.
