GatenbySanderson job reference: GSe109513
As our Chief Financial Officer, you will have a critical role in the financial management of the cathedral from both an operational and strategic perspective. Reporting to the Dean, Mark Oakley, you will lead the cathedral finance team to ensure that the service, processes, policies and systems align to provide the Cathedral’s Chapter and committees with the assurance and insight required to support thriving mission, ministry and operations. Robust accounting, clear reporting and strong financial forecasting all form key tenets of this ambition, as does regular open interaction with our trustees and other senior leaders. As a key member of the senior leadership team of the Cathedral, you will also play a critical role in broader leadership as a role model for our values, and in supporting and advising our Dean and other senior leaders.
You will be an experienced financial leader and qualified member of a recognised accountancy professional body, able to blend technical skills with a track record of effective strategic and people leadership. You will be comfortable and capable of producing accurate and timely accounts and forecasts that support effective strategic decision making. You will have strong relational and communication skills that enable you to clearly explain key issues to stakeholders at all levels, including those with no financial training. While you do not need to have worked within the Church of England previously, you will need, with our help, to quickly learn its structures, culture and dynamics. Above all, you must be able to demonstrate an empathy with the values, ministry and mission of the Cathedral and have a passion for its contribution to the life of the London and surrounding areas.
We want our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion for all to be reflected in the composition of our staff. We are particularly keen to receive applications from candidates from communities currently underrepresented at senior levels in the cathedral.
