Chief Financial Officer & Executive Director (SMF2) | Dudley Building Society

Thorburn McAlister is working with Dudley Building Society to appoint a commercial finance leader who can help shape the next phase of growth for this member-owned mutual.

The Society has made significant changes in recent years. Your opportunity is to turn that work into sustained financial performance. You’ll help the Board decide where to invest, how to grow profitably across mortgages and savings, and how to protect the Society’s financial strength for current and future members.

The role

As an Executive Director, you’ll work closely with the CEO and bring independent judgement and constructive challenge to the Board. You’ll lead Finance, Treasury and Credit, with responsibility for capital, funding, liquidity, financial planning, reporting and control. You’ll develop the Finance team and work with commercial colleagues to make better decisions on pricing, costs and investment, with a clear view of their impact on margin, risk and member outcomes.

What you’ll bring

A recognised professional accountancy qualification and a record of effective leadership at Board and executive level.
Substantial executive experience (SMF2) in a PRA-regulated UK financial services organisation, with meaningful responsibility on both sides of the balance sheet across lending or mortgages and savings or funding.
Strong capital and financial planning experience, with evidence of making commercial pricing decisions across lending and savings.
Direct involvement in a significant capital or balance-sheet transaction, such as an issuance, securitisation or asset acquisition or disposal.
Credible engagement with the PRA and experience embedding risk management in day-to-day commercial decisions.

You’ll enjoy developing people, be comfortable staying close to the detail in a smaller organisation, and share Dudley’s commitment to delivering long-term value for members. Appointment is subject to regulatory approval for SMF2.

Location and flexibility

Hybrid working and relocation support are both available for the right candidate. If location is a consideration, we’d be happy to discuss what could work for you in an initial conversation.

Dudley Building Society welcomes applications from qualified candidates with a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. Reasonable adjustments are available throughout the recruitment process.
