About this opportunity

Cumberland Council is a new, values-led unitary authority serving a proud and distinctive part of the North West.

With stunning landscapes, vibrant communities and ambitious plans for transformation, we are passionate about delivering excellent public services and tackling the challenges that matter most to our residents: health, inequality, opportunity and the environment.

Finance sits at the heart of that ambition. We are building a forward-thinking, collaborative and high-performing finance service – one that enables innovation, drives improvement and supports informed, strategic decision-making across the organisation.

As Senior Manager – Business Partnering, you will lead the Council’s Finance Business Partnering function and manage our Accountancy and Financial Planning teams. You’ll work closely with senior leaders and Members to shape financial strategy, drive performance, and support delivery of the Council Plan.

Reporting directly to the Chief Finance Officer, you will also act as Deputy Section 151 Officer, providing high-level advice and assurance across the organisation and helping to maintain a strong, future-focused control environment. This is a senior leadership role with real visibility and influence. You will be a key member of both the Finance Management and Senior Management Teams, supporting transformation, financial sustainability, and service improvement in a complex and evolving local authority.

We’re seeking a CCAB-qualified finance professional with the leadership experience and insight to thrive in a complex, publicly accountable environment. You’ll bring a track record of leading professional finance teams and delivering high-quality business partnering.

You will be confident in providing strategic financial advice to senior stakeholders, and bring an understanding of public finance principles, budget strategy and financial planning.
