Your new company

You will be joining a well-established and forward-thinking organisation with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality services. The organisation is committed to continuous improvement, innovation, and supporting its people through a flexible and inclusive working environment.

Your new role

As Finance Team Lead (Income), you will play a key leadership role in managing the organisation’s income function. You will oversee day-to-day operations, ensuring accurate rent and service charge processing, alongside managing banking activities such as reconciliations, direct debits, and BACS payments. You will lead and develop a team, driving performance, accountability, and continuous improvement, while also identifying opportunities to enhance processes and support digital transformation. In addition, you will ensure robust financial controls are in place, maintain audit readiness, and act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders. This role will also see you contributing to financial planning, reporting, and the wider income strategy, with a real opportunity to make a measurable impact across the organisation.


What you'll need to succeed

To be successful, you will bring strong experience in income management, including rent collection and service charges, which is essential. You will have a proven track record of leading and developing teams, alongside strong technical expertise in financial controls, reconciliations, and reporting. You will be highly proficient in Excel, with a proactive and solutions-focused approach, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Experience within housing, local government, or a similar sector will be highly advantageous, along with the ability to build strong relationships with stakeholders and navigate change effectively.


What you'll get in return

You will receive a competitive salary of £45,561, alongside the opportunity to step into a leadership role where you can truly influence financial performance and service delivery. The organisation offers highly flexible and hybrid working arrangements, including the potential for a 9-day working fortnight, supporting a strong work-life balance.
In addition, you will have the chance to contribute to meaningful organisational transformation, with clear opportunities for professional growth and development within a supportive environment.
