Chief Financial Officer - Peabody

Remuneration: Attractive

Location: London

Peabody has an inspiring social purpose at its core: to help people make the most of their lives. We are a people business and our values; ambitious, collaborative, caring, empowering, and trusted, drive our approach to all that we do. But the vision can’t be delivered without great organization, structure, money, disciplined planning and control. Money, reputation, relationships all matter.

We have grown in scale significantly over recent years and have created a solid base from which to grow further both organically and through other organisations joining us. London and the South East urgently need more new housing and Peabody is working hard to achieve this. Peabody is a charity with a strong balance sheet and an asset base of 66,000 homes and a growing commercial business which is well placed to develop quality new homes for sale to fund the expansion of its core business. We have been active in the capital markets and will need to raise further finance to fund our ambitious future plans as one of the largest housing developers in London.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an enthusiastic and capable finance professional to inspire and lead our team to deliver more for our customers. We are looking for a CFO who feels an affinity with our core purpose and values and who is able to bring rigour, creativity and commerciality to enable us to deliver a greater social return. The role requires a close and effective working relationship with the CEO, the Executive team, the board and their own team. The successful candidate will be a strong leader who can challenge robustly but also work collaboratively. They will have proven experience in leading organisations of comparable size and complexity, ideally with a focus on building a strong customer-focussed ethos.

Closing date: Friday 4th October at midday.
