We are a c.£160m organisation with strong foundations, talented people and plans to grow our impact significantly. That means thinking creatively about investment, funding models and partnerships, and ensuring finance is a forward looking, enabling function that gives confidence to innovate, across research, services and system influence.

Working closely with the CEO, Board and Trustees, the role balances rigorous governance and commercial insight with a deep commitment to purpose, enabling the Society to maximise its impact for everyone affected by dementia, today and in the future.
