Dementia is one of the greatest challenges of our age. It is now the UK's biggest killer, touching almost every family, and one in three people born today will develop it. The human, social and economic costs are profound, but so too is the opportunity to change what the future looks like. We are a c.£160m organisation with strong foundations, talented people and plans to grow our impact significantly. That means thinking creatively about investment, funding models and partnerships, and ensuring finance is a forward looking, enabling function that gives confidence to innovate, across research, services and system influence. You will shape how we grow, how we invest, and how we build the financial architecture that lets our researchers, services and campaigners take bold, well-founded decisions. That means reimagining funding models. Building the case for transformational investment. Identifying partnerships and income opportunities that others haven't yet seen. And translating financial complexity into the kind of clear, confident insight that gives our Executive Leadership Team and Board of Trustees the courage to act. You are a qualified finance leader with a track record of operating at Executive and Board level in a complex, ambitious organisation. You bring genuine commercial creativity - an ability to innovate around investment, income and funding that goes beyond conventional financial management. You are as comfortable building relationships with external partners as you are providing rigorous governance and assurance. Experience in the charity or purpose-driven sector is valued, but not essential. What matters is that you understand what it means to deploy resources in service of something bigger than the bottom line - and that you have the skill, credibility and vision to help us do it better. The CFO who joins us now will help determine how many lives we change, how many breakthroughs we accelerate, and how much of that future we can actually afford to build. Closing date: Monday 1st June 2026 Alzheimer's Society is committed to building a diverse and inclusive organisation that reflects the communities it serves.
