£90,000-£95,000 per annum
Drinkaware is the UK’s leading alcohol charity. Our mission is to use our expertise to give government, industry, communities and individuals the knowledge and support to make informed decisions about alcohol and how to reduce the harms it can cause. We deliver our work through public facing campaigns and digital services, information and guidance, evidence led advice to governments and industry, and independent research, consumer insight and evaluation. Drinkaware is a pretty unique charity, with bold ambitions to reduce alcohol harm in partnership with those around us. We have strong brand awareness for a small organisation, great digital tools and services and a motivated and capable staff team. We’re supported by over 300 industry organisations.
THE ROLE
As Director of Resources and Business Systems, you will play an essential role as the lead on the wider business management and financial oversight of the charity. All our work starts from our research, evidence and impact – as such we are looking for people who are fluent in the use of data and have a generally broad frame of reference which goes well beyond merely finance. You will be an experienced qualified accountant, with proven financial acumen and a track record within senior roles, or willingness and ability to step up to a more senior role, focusing on financial planning and management. In addition, you will bring experience of HR management, as well as overseeing IT business systems and digital transformation initiatives.
We’re seeking individuals who can take responsibility for strategic goals, and who understand how to carefully curate stakeholder relationships across their team, to ensure they are managed and grown. We need to build and extend our insight into our external relationships and reorient our team to focus outwards.
This is an exceptionally exciting time to join Drinkaware, as we’re reshaping ourselves to work more dynamically and collaboratively across a complex landscape, as well as to harness the power of partnership working, behaviour change campaigns, high quality research and insight to help more people drink below the low risk drinking guidelines.
