The Head of Finance and Operations is a central figure in our senior leadership team – a role that combines strategic oversight with day-to-day delivery across a broad and vital portfolio. It’s about more than managing numbers and processes; it’s about making sure the whole organisation runs smoothly, sustainably, and in line with our values.

You’ll lead a small but high-performing team responsible for finance, operations and compliance and whilst also managing the relationship with our external IT service provider. That includes overseeing our financial strategy and reporting, ensuring robust risk management and controls, and leading the operational side of our office and visitor experience at 22 Golden Square. You’ll also support our governance and policy work, helping the CEO and Board maintain strong accountability and compliance frameworks.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a fast-moving organisation with national reach. We’re looking for someone who can bring clarity and structure, spot opportunities for improvement, and make things work better – whether that’s upgrading our digital systems or finding smarter ways to manage our resources.

You don’t need experience in the film and TV sector, but you do need to be values-led, collaborative and commercially aware. We’re especially interested in candidates who are energised by mission-driven work, who enjoy leading small teams, and who are confident balancing strategic thinking with practical delivery.

We are deeply committed to increasing diversity of all kinds – particularly ethnicity, disability, age and socio-economic class – in our team, so if this opportunity catches your eye, please do consider discussing it with our advisers at Cadence Partners.
