Assistant Director Finance and Governance (s151 Officer)

We’re looking for a committed Assistant Director, Finance and Governance and S151 Officer to lead the Council’s finance function – including Revenues and Benefits, Commercial and Procurement, and Audit and Risk. You’ll provide high-level financial and governance expertise to the Council’s leadership team, senior officers, and elected councillors – while also leading the strategic development of key finance and governance-related priorities in the portfolio.
 
It's a wide remit with current priority given to aligning resources with our corporate plan; which means you'll need to balance financial constraints with supporting other leaders to deliver their priorities. You'll manage a strong team, developing talented middle managers into more senior roles to strengthen the organisation. You'll also support ambitious projects, collaborating with developers, partners and the county council to ensure service delivery, income generation, value for money and the delivery of Council priorities and outcomes.
  
This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced finance leader to maintain and build financial stability and profitability, create a culture of collaboration within the Council, and ultimately drive our Borough forward.
