The Role

Reporting to the Head of Finance, you’ll take a lead role across:

• You should bring experience across cash forecasting, loan and debt management, covenant monitoring and treasury reporting, together with a good understanding of the social housing environment.
• Just as importantly, you’ll be able to look beyond routine monthly reporting, identify future funding and financial risks, and translate detailed treasury information into clear strategic insight for senior leaders.
• Experience working alongside development or growth teams on new-build, investment or acquisition activity is particularly important, as is the ability to provide clear financial advice and constructive challenge to senior stakeholders and budget holders.
• Strong Excel skills, sound financial controls and the ability to build effective relationships with lenders, advisers and internal teams will also be key.
