A well-established, globally connected organisation is seeking an Interim Director of Finance & IT to provide leadership and stability during a critical period of digital transformation.

This is a hands-on role that combines strategic oversight with operational delivery, reporting directly to the CEO and supporting both the finance function and IT operations.

• Manage financial reporting, risk registers, compliance, budgeting, and KPI dashboards.
• Lead a small finance team and manage relationships with key external suppliers, including IT and legal.
• Support the CEO, including attendance at board meetings and acting as representative on finance-related matters.
• Qualified Chartered Accountant (ACA preferred) with substantial post-qualification experience.
• Proven track record in finance leadership, ideally with experience in both large corporate and small/charity settings.
• Experience in delivering complex IT transformation projects and managing accounting system migrations.
• Familiarity with project management methodologies (e.g. PRINCE2, Agile).
• Strong commercial acumen, supplier management, and risk handling capabilities.
• Background in the UK charity or non-profit sector.
• Experience with property and lease management.
• Understanding of government grant administration and fundraising processes.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Business Central and Power BI.

Personal Attributes:

• Strategic thinker with a practical, hands-on approach.
• Excellent communicator and trusted advisor to senior leadership.
• High levels of integrity, discretion, and adaptability.
• Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills.

This is a unique opportunity for a commercially-minded finance leader with strong IT acumen to join a forward-thinking organisation and make a tangible impact. The ideal candidate will be dynamic, proactive, and collaborative, with a genuine interest in supporting the broader charitable mission of the organisation.
