About the roleWe are seeking a strategic, experienced, and inspiring leader to join Beat as our next Director of Finance and IT. This is a rare opportunity to help lead a fast-paced, mission-driven organisation at a pivotal moment in its journey. You will join a truly collaborative Executive team where decisions are made collectively, ideas are shared openly, and every Director plays a vital role in shaping Beat’s strategy and future.
Together, we will guide the organisation through our revitalized strategy, ensuring that we can continue to build financial resilience, grow our reach, strengthen our impact, and remain a sustainable charity.
In this role, you will shape organisational strategy, evaluate opportunities for growth and investment, and ensure that financial insight informs decision-making at every level. Your leadership will be instrumental in embedding robust and transparent financial management, driving operational excellence, and ensuring that our people and IT infrastructure are fully equipped to deliver our ambitious goals.
You will lead a multi-disciplinary team covering finance, IT and facilities, providing clear direction and supportive leadership. With direct line management of the Head of Finance and Senior Project Manager and Evaluation Lead, you will ensure that all areas of Finance and IT operate efficiently, sustainably, and in close partnership with colleagues across the charity.
This role will suit someone who thrives on collaboration, innovation, and impact. You will already be working at Director level or as a CFO or equivalent, and will be ready to bring your vision and experience to strengthen Beat’s foundations and the drive to help us reach new heights.
The Finance and IT teams are primarily based in our Norwich office, with some colleagues home-based across the UK. The Director of Finance and IT will work flexibly predominantly home based, with travel for some meetings in Norwich and London to provide leadership and oversight. The Executive meets twice-monthly in London, with regular online meetings and additional sessions in Norwich or London as required.
Board meetings are held quarterly in central London.
