Finance Transformation Manager; Interim

What you'll bring to the team

We’re looking for a Finance Transformation Manager (interim) to join our team and help shape how we use financial data to drive better decisions across the organisation.

If you’re someone who enjoys improving processes, building insight and turning complex information into something clear and useful, this is a role where your work will have a direct and measurable impact.

In this varied and collaborative role, you’ll support the transformation of finance systems, reporting and performance insight. You’ll work closely with finance teams, budget holders and senior leaders to make sure the information we produce is accurate, relevant and genuinely useful for decision-making.

You’ll review and improve existing finance and reporting processes, helping to create more efficient and consistent ways of working. Alongside this, you’ll enhance reporting outputs so they are clear, insight-driven and easy for non-finance stakeholders to understand.

You’ll also support the development of tools, dashboards and metrics, giving teams better visibility of performance and helping to drive more informed decisions across the organisation. You’ll identify opportunities to improve systems and data structures, contributing to wider transformation projects and embedding best practice across the finance function.

Working with colleagues across finance and the wider business, you’ll translate data into meaningful insights, helping stakeholders understand performance and take action where needed.

This is a 6-month interim position based in Poole, working closely with the Charities Finance Director and wider teams.

So, if you want to play a key role in improving how financial insight supports real business decisions, we want to hear from you.
