We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, self-motivated, and engaging leader to fulfil the senior role of Director of Finance, Commercial and Strategy. As a key member of the Berkshire and Surrey Pathology Services (BSPS) senior leadership team, you’ll have strong leadership skills and the ability to work at Board level. You will be responsible for our organisational budget (circa. £100 Million) and provide strategic leadership to our finance function.
As a proactive collaborator, you will develop and maintain key relationships with the BSPS Board members and the Chair of the Finance and Investment Committee, as well as the wider Board of Directors and Executive Leadership Team.
This is a key role in providing direction and support to ensure a coordinated approach to financial and commercial performance across our organisation and providing financial expertise in terms of budgeting, costing and business planning and development.
The successful candidate will be experienced in leading financial performance and sustainability in a complex network environment, be technically and intellectually strong and able to provide strong professional leadership for the financial staff within BSPS. As a strategic leader, you will develop and lead commercial and financial strategies in support of the overall strategy and direction of BSPS and its partner organisations and provide strategic planning advice to senior BSPS Executive colleagues and the BSPS Board.
You will have responsibility for implementing an annual contracting strategy and “horizon scanning” for any potential bidding and service development opportunities for BSPS and undertake research modelling and collation of information to support the Executive Team to reach “bid” or “no bid” decisions.
As a member of the Pathology Board, you will be able to demonstrate an innovative approach and clear focus on driving continuous improvement across the finance function and beyond, while embedding a supportive, high-performance culture.
In return, you could be part of an upward journey, in which there is both permission and support to be innovative in the development of a leading Finance function at BSPS.
