Our social purpose is central to our operating model. We donate over 50% of our profits to support charities and wider social impact and provide every member of the team 10 days of paid volunteering leave each year. It also shapes how we work: with care, integrity, high standards and a strong sense of responsibility to one another. We are in the middle of an ambitious period of growth.

What you will lead Lead financial management and assurance Own annual budgeting and forecasting, cash flow management and the organisation's view of financial performance and emerging pressures.

Oversee wider business operations Set clear service standards for workplace, facilities, administration, meetings and events, and ensure our offices are safe, welcoming and well run. Oversee key suppliers and PPL's external IT provider, including service performance, escalation, licences, assets and access controls.
