About the role
This is a Director of Finance role unlike any other. You will have the opportunity to shape the finance function and the financial management of the combined authority. Your role within the organisation will grow and have more impact over the next 12-18 months as we develop our finance service. We want robust financial planning to play a critical role within our authority. We will look to you as you shape a sophisticated approach to the MTFS, capital programming, and financial modelling. You will provide high quality advice for the Mayor, Members and officers whilst playing a key role on the Resources Senior Leadership Team. You will bring an ‘enabling approach to working within the Directorate and across the organisation. You will lead the implementation of a new finance system.
This is genuinely a leadership role. We are actively growing our finance team in line with the growth of EMCCA. Whilst there is a foundation in place for you to walk into, we want to see you build on the work that has been done, influencing the shape of the function as it matures. This is an influential role and you will know that what you do is making a big impact on our communities. You will have the opportunity to develop relationships with the constituent authorities, engaging with national finance bodies with the sector, and expand your remit to the national stage; enhancing EMCCA’s profile and presence.
