Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

The Company is in search of a Chief Financial Officer to join its executive team and play a pivotal role in the strategic leadership of finance, operations, and organizational planning. This senior position demands an individual with a proven track record in financial management, who can extend their influence to impact organizational strategy and support sustainable growth. The CFO will work closely with the Chief Executive Officer, Trustees, and school leaders to ensure that the company's resources are effectively utilized to deliver the greatest possible impact for the communities it serves. Collaboration, accountability, and a relentless focus on improving outcomes are at the core of the company's values, and the successful candidate will be expected to embody these principles. The ideal candidate for the Chief Financial Officer role at the company will be an accomplished leader with the professional credibility, commercial acumen, and strategic judgment necessary to support the organization's ambitions. While experience in the education sector is advantageous, the company is open to candidates from other complex and highly regulated environments, provided they can demonstrate the ability to see beyond the numbers and act as a trusted adviser to senior leaders and Trustees. The role requires a candidate who is comfortable with both long-term organizational strategy and the delivery of strong financial discipline, and who is motivated by the opportunity to contribute to an organization driven by public service and social purpose. The CFO will have a direct impact on the company's ability to invest in its schools, support its staff, and create exceptional opportunities for the pupils and communities it serves.
