Birkenhead, United Kingdom Tranmere Rovers FC Full time

Tranmere Rovers is a professional football club with the strategic intention to achieve on-field success without being reliant on continued external investment. This ambition is being realised by changing the business model from that of a traditional football club and building balance sheet resilience.

The business generates c£6m turnover and involves a breadth of revenue streams including retail, education and international alongside the traditional football and matchday operations including hospitality.

The Club is well connected to its local community and is recognised as an anchor institution on the Wirral as a consequence of the expansion of its community footprint in recent years. The role involves the oversight and management of the charitable arm; reporting directly to the Trustees.

This position requires the willingness to take a hands-on approach to understanding the business at a transactional level while also being commercially astute and contributing to the strategic direction as a key member of the Senior Management Team.

The role also requires the capability to act autonomously in leading the Finance function with a pro-active approach to ensuring compliance, improving processes and driving budget holder performance.

An essential requirement will be the ability to drive cost control and cashflow management in a resource constrained environment. A high level of IT proficiency is imperative in order to deliver against the requirements of the role, with the Finance function having been improved through increased automation and the implementation of sophisticated systems.

The role offers the scope for significant career development with direct reporting to ownership, great exposure to finance operations across a number of business streams and the opportunity to add value commercially.

In summary, the role offers a unique oversight of changing the traditional business model of a professional football club as it seeks to fulfil its potential and progress to a self-sustainable Championship Club.
