Prospectus is delighted to be supporting a small, London based performing arts charity to recruit for a Finance and Operations Director. This is a full-time, permanent role based at their site in Islington. The charity works with care leavers and at-risk young people using drama, staging high-profile theatre and film productions.
Reporting to the CEO, the Finance and Operations Director is responsible for managing the day-to-day operational, financial, and legal aspects of The Big House and ensuring successful delivery of all services. Some key responsibilities include:
- Strategic and financial planning.
- Leading in the development and management of business plans, including developing and implementing a robust venue business plan.
- Setting realistic financial targets and working alongside the CEO to develop a robust, deliverable business plan for financial partnerships in 2025 and beyond.
- Leading the development and implementation of HR strategy and staff management policies.
- Supporting the Fundraising team alongside the CEO to develop and manage a realistic weighted pipeline of trusts and foundations.
- Monitoring funding agreements and renewals, supporting the preparation of corporate sponsorship contracts, and overseeing the management of the office space.
The successful candidate will have prior experience managing finances, ideally for a charitable organization or not-for-profit, although you do not need to be a fully qualified accountant. You will have team management experience with the ability to motivate and support staff and bring experience of embedding policies and processes to ensure the smooth running of the organization. You will be a self-starter with the ability and drive to learn aspects of the role that you are not as familiar with. The charity is open to candidates looking to develop and broaden their experience on the job, and therefore you will not be expected to have strong experience in every area.
To apply, please submit your CV in the first instance. Following your application, you may be contacted by Prospectus for an informal discussion and may be asked to provide further information to assist with the recruitment process.
Prospectus will be reviewing applications for this vacancy on a rolling basis; therefore, we encourage candidates to apply ASAP.

Prospectus invests in your journey as a candidate and is committed to supporting you in your application.
