Could your strategic financial leadership help us maximise positive impact for people affected by dementia? Are you ready to establish the gold standard for financial partnering, planning and analysis in the charity sector?
About Alzheimer's Society - who are we and what’s our mission?
Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.
At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re the UK’s leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.
Together with our supporters, we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.
Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.
About the opportunity
As Head of Financial Partnering, Planning & Analysis, you'll join during an exciting period of directorate transformation. Working collectively with our leadership team, you'll be instrumental in shaping cultural change, implementing our new directorate vision and redefining how we strategically plan and allocate our resources to create maximum impact for people affected by dementia.
This role extends far beyond traditional finance responsibilities. You’ll be a transformational leader who will redefine what financial business partnering, planning and analysis means for us at Alzheimer's Society. You'll play a key role in our journey from being a service function to a true partner to teams across the Society, establishing a consistent, modern approach to financial partnering, planning and analysis that combines deep relationship-based insight with rigorous analytical discipline.
You'll role-model collective and collaborative leadership while building a high-performing team working in a high challenge, high support culture. You'll enable robust financial planning and analysis throughout the organisation via effective partnerships, ensuring every pound we spend is strategically aligned to support people affected by dementia.
If you're passionate about using financial expertise to drive meaningful change and want to codify the discipline of financial planning & analysis in a mission-driven environment, we'd love to hear from you.
