Director of Financial and Corporate Services

At Target Ovarian Cancer, we exist to identify and tackle the biggest challenges in ovarian cancer so that it doesn t limit life.

Too many women are diagnosed late. Too many face barriers to treatment, unequal access to care, or don t get the support they need. We re here to change that and we re at a point where we can go even further.

To do that, we need strong foundations that allow us to grow our impact with confidence. That s where this role comes in.

Why this role matters

This is not just a finance leadership position. It s an opportunity to shape how a national charity delivers life-changing impact.

As a key member of our Senior Leadership Team, you will help ensure we have the financial strength, organisational resilience, and operational excellence needed to transform outcomes for women affected by ovarian cancer.

You ll work closely with our CEO and Board to guide critical decisions, ensuring we re building something ambitious and sustainable.

What you ll lead

You will provide strategic leadership across the organisation s core foundations:

• Financial sustainability ensuring we can invest boldly and responsibly in our mission
• People and culture building an inclusive, supportive environment where colleagues thrive
• Governance and risk maintaining trust, accountability and strong decision-making
• Data and technology enabling smarter, faster, more impactful work

You ll bring clarity to complexity, strengthen our foundations, and help us grow with confidence and purpose.

Who we re looking for

You re a values-driven leader who combines commercial acumen with a deep commitment to impact.

You might come from the charity, public or private sector but what matters most is that you:

• Understand how strong financial leadership enables real-world change
• Build trusted relationships and influence at the most senior levels
• Lead teams with empathy, clarity and high expectations
• Care deeply about equity, inclusion and improving outcomes for others
• Are motivated by the opportunity to use your expertise for a meaningful cause

A recognised accountancy qualification (or equivalent experience) is expected.

Equity, diversity and inclusion

We re committed to building a diverse and inclusive organisation, and particularly welcome applications from people currently underrepresented at senior levels, including those from Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic backgrounds, and disabled or neurodivergent candidates.

If you need any adjustments during the recruitment process or in the role itself, we ll work with you to make that happen.

Why join Target Ovarian Cancer?

Because this is a moment that matters.

We have a clear strategy, a powerful mission, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference from improving early diagnosis to strengthening support and amplifying the voices of those affected.

You ll be joining a passionate, collaborative organisation that is committed to being:

• Supportive
• Expert
• Pioneering
• Empowering
• Impactful

Alongside this, we offer flexible working, strong wellbeing support, and a culture that values your growth and contribution.
