WILTSHIRE WILDLIFE TRUST IS SEEKING A DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND OPERATIONS TO JOIN OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM.

This is an exciting time to be joining the Trust, which is thinking bigger and stepping up to collaborate widely to achieve nature’s recovery and connect people with nature. Achievement of our ambitious goals will require us to build our financial resilience and invest in growing our unrestricted income pipeline from a diverse range of sources. New enterprise opportunities are arising in green finance and advisory services to complement our traditional funding model. The organisation has grown rapidly in recent years, and the time is right for a review of our systems and processes to ensure we are deploying our resources effectively and with maximum impact towards the delivery of our Strategy.
We are looking for an experienced Director of Finance and Operations to act as a business partner to the CEO and fellow Directors, leading and coordinating this reset of our operational and financial planning to support the successful delivery of our strategic goals. You will provide leadership on people (HR and organisational development), financial, IT and operational management. As Company Secretary, you will engage closely with the Chair and Trustees, overseeing our governance processes and compliance with charity law.
You will be a natural communicator who is instinctively collaborative, systematic and organised. You will have the leadership skills and emotional intelligence to engage well with your fellow Directors, and with Trustees and team leaders across the Trust. You will have a mind-set that seeks out solutions.
We are part of The Wildlife Trusts federation, which connects the 46 county Trusts in a powerful network for innovation with a strong national voice. You will find that your team extends beyond Wiltshire to a dynamic network of fellow Directors, here in the southwest and UK-wide.
