Are you a strategic finance leader with a passion for driving transformation? Do you have proven experience effectively guiding organisations through complex change? If so, you could be a great fit for an Interim Executive Director of Corporate Services position we are leading on the recruitment of, that will partner with the Executive Team and realign financial strategy with evolving goals of this impactful social change charity.
The organisation, which has gone through a period of exponential growth in recent years, provides life-changing support to people facing severe disadvantage, helping them overcome barriers and build a brighter future. From those caught up in the criminal justice system to individuals struggling with homelessness, the work empowers people to turn their lives around and achieve independence.
The Role
As Interim Executive Director of Corporate Services, you will play a critical role in steering the organisation through a challenging but pivotal period of realignment. Working closely with the CEO and Board of Trustees, you will drive financial transformation, ensuring finance, ICT & systems, quality assurance, safeguarding, and contract compliance functions are robust, future-proof, and fully aligned with the new strategic direction.
Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide hands-on, change-focused leadership to stabilise and strengthen corporate services through a time of transition.
  • Partner with the CEO and fellow executives to redefine and implement a financial strategy that supports long-term sustainability.
  • Oversee and realign the financial health of the organisation, ensuring rigorous budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting.
  • Enhance financial transparency and management information to inform strategic decision-making.
  • Foster a business partnering culture, ensuring corporate services work collaboratively across the organisation to support strategic priorities and operational needs.
  • Lead and manage ICT and systems, ensuring technology supports organisational efficiency and change.
  • Embed quality assurance and safeguarding best practices across all functions.
  • Ensure contract compliance and effective management of outsourced service providers.
  • Drive a culture of agility, accountability, and continuous improvement across corporate services.

Who We're Looking For:
You'll be a qualified accountant with significant experience as a Director of Corporate Services or similar leadership role within the charity sector, particularly in an interim capacity or change-focused role. You will bring:

  • Strong financial acumen, with expertise in transformation, budgeting, forecasting, and risk management.
  • Experience navigating organisational change and realignment, ensuring finance and operations support strategic goals.
  • A deep understanding of UK charity law, regulations, and best practices.
  • Exceptional leadership and strategic planning skills, with the ability to drive positive organisational change under tight timelines.
  • A track record of developing high-performing teams and fostering a culture of resilience and adaptability.
  • Outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills, able to engage effectively with trustees, funders, and staff at all levels.

Why Join?
This is a high-impact, interim opportunity to guide a respected charity through a defining period of transition. You'll play a key role in shaping the future, ensuring financial and operational functions are fit for purpose and aligned with the mission.
