125,000 per annum + bonus + generous pension + benefits | Wales / Hybrid
WPP IM Co is being established as an FCA-regulated investment management company to serve the eight Welsh Local Government Pension Scheme funds, managing more than 25 billion for 412,000 members. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help shape a permanent, world-class investment institution for Wales and to design and lead the investment capability of a new, regulated company at the heart of UKLGPS reform.
Over time, WPP IM Co will help channel long-term pension capital into clean energy, affordable housing, innovation and other investments that strengthen Wales and the UK - demonstrating how responsible investment can serve members and the communities they live in.
The organisation is now seeking its first ever Director of Finance to serve as Executive Director and hold FCA Senior Management Function (SMF3) approval on authorisation. Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the Audit & Risk Committee Chair and Director of Financial Risk, the Director of Finance will lead financial management, planning and control across the company - establishing robust frameworks that ensure transparency, prudence and accountability in a regulated environment.
You will join a compact, high-calibre executive team and play a pivotal role through mobilisation, authorisation and launch, building the financial systems, reporting and governance that will underpin a 25 billion organisation with a public purpose.
You may already be a Finance Director in an FCA-regulated setting or a senior finance professional ready to take that next step. You will bring a strong command of financial-control frameworks, statutory and prudential reporting, and audit oversight. A qualified accountant (CIPFA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), you will also bring experience designing or overseeing MIFIDPRU, ICAAP or liquidity-management frameworks.
Welsh language proficiency is also not essential but would be an advantage.
