Job overview
Tes is supporting the appointment of a Chief Finance and Operating Officer to join a school based in Lincolnshire.
This is a leading HMC independent co-educational day and boarding school located within a Georgian market town known for its historic buildings, independent retailers, proximity to the countryside and excellent transport links.
The Governors and Head seek to appoint a dynamic, financially astute and commercially driven Chief Finance and Operating Officer (CFOO). Acting as the School’s strategic and commercial adviser this is an exciting opportunity to work in partnership with a new Head and the Governing Body on the next stage of the school’s development. The CFOO will help shape the School’s strategy and with responsibility for the finance, operational and professional services, candidates will be able to demonstrate proven ability in senior leadership and financial control, strategic planning and operational delivery within large complex organisations.
Reporting to the Head, the CFOO will lead a team of 110 staff and as a key member of the Core Executive Team, will deliver and manage change to ensure the School’s financial and commercial success. Whilst a formal accounting qualification is not required, they will be a collaborative senior leader, a strategic thinker with strong financial and commercial acumen, coupled with first-rate analytical and business skills. An outstanding communicator, the CFOO will strive for excellence and operate at pace.
Prior experience in the education sector and applications are encouraged from candidates with commercial, charitable, private-sector and public-sector backgrounds. The successful candidate will, however, demonstrate empathy with independent education and commitment to the school’s ethos and values.
A highly attractive remuneration package, including fee remission, will be available for the successful candidate.
