They will lead the team in the development of our processes and procedures, undertaking digital and systems transformation to increase efficiency and maintain control in the light of the changed working and operating environment.

The Head of Finance is responsible for monitoring and analysis of Watershed Group finances and the efficient and compliant running of the Finance Department, including the leadership of the team. They are a member of Watersheds’ Executive Team and will work alongside the CEO, General Manager and Board to set and deliver finance strategy, in line with the organisation’s overall vision and business plan. The role is also supported by Watersheds’ Finance Sub Group.

We believe our work will be stronger with greater diversity and welcome applications from those who bring difference to our team. Watershed welcomes the whole person to work, and we understand that each of us bring our experiences, our backgrounds and our own unique lens to what we do. Supporting our staff means they are not appointed to represent specific groups or organisation.

You may not have worked in a cultural organisation before, or in an organisation like Watershed. Perhaps you have worked in finance but in other non-cultural organisations which would be a very transferable context. If you are from a background that is underrepresented in the culture sector (for example you are from a community that experiences racism or you are a disabled person (as defined by the Equalities Act 2010), or you did not go to University or had free school meals as a child), and you would like support to articulate how your experience is transferable to this role, please contact Clare Reddington[email protected] or Kirsty Young[email protected] and we would be pleased to help you think this through.

Watershed will work with candidates to ensure their access needs are met during the interview process and will ensure access requirements do not factor in decision making.
