Job Requirements

Financial experience gained as an executive, company director or senior management within a charity, arts organisation, business or similar context
The ability to read and understand management accounts, cashflow documents and budgets, and to explain key financial issues clearly to non-finance colleagues
A rigorous, curious and supportive approach with the ability to ask the right questions, identify risk and help the Board make sound decisions
Qualified accountancy experience would be welcome, but is not essential
An open, collaborative style, comfortable contributing to discussion without dominating it, and able to work constructively with trustees and staff
A genuine commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion, justice and belonging, and an interest in supporting Black-led theatre in the UK
