York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority The Organisation The Combined Authority is the delivery vehicle for significant new powers and funding, which together will support communities and economic development across the region for years to come. The newly formed organisation combines the former operations of the North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership, Office of the North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service alongside new and developing powers and functions that have been secured for the region through devolution. The Opportunity As the Combined Authorities Head of Finance and Resources, you will work closely with the Director of Resources, initially leading on the finance aspects of a major long-term project to bring together the newly combined organisation's finance and information systems and processes, as well as taking ownership of the day-to-day provision of financial management advice and support to internal clients and key stakeholders now and into the future. Your role will ensure that the organisation develops and maintains best-in-class financial and performance systems and reporting and complies with all relevant financial reporting and regulatory requirements. This role forms the bridge between the strategic and operational and is an outstanding opportunity to make a lasting mark in a rapidly growing and ambitious organisation benefitting from exposure to key decision makers across the organisation and its key stakeholders. As the Head of Finance and Resources, you will play a key part in shaping the organisation's future approach to key support functions ensuring a fit-for-purpose service that underpins the organisation's goal of ultimately achieving deeper devolution and a more flexible single funding settlement. What will you bring to the role? We are looking for an influential and experienced strategic leader, who can bring together the finances and resources of the Combined Authority, to successfully deliver our ambitious plans. A real problem solver and change maker that provides the ability to see the bigger picture. We are looking for a combination of the following key skills: Experience in a senior financial management or leadership role, preferably within the public sector or a similar large, complex organisation.

Ability to drive a complex programme through leadership and demonstrate that you have deployed the right leadership approach for the circumstances. Experience of working in local government and knowledge of the CIPFA's Code of Practice and the Prudential Code for Capital Finance in Local Authorities. Proven track record in developing and delivering financial strategies, including budget management, financial forecasting, and long-term financial planning. Extensive experience in producing financial reports for senior stakeholders, boards, and audit committees.
