Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the position of Finance Director at Better Society Capital. We are excited about the opportunity for you to join our team and play a vital role in delivering our mission: to grow the amount of capital invested in tackling social issues across the UK.
Better Society Capital is the UK’s leading social impact investor. We invest our own capital (£1bn to date) and enable others to invest alongside us, building a broader market for social investment. We partner with banks, foundations, social enterprises, and charities to create and support innovative solutions to some of the most pressing challenges facing society – from homelessness and financial exclusion to health inequalities and community resilience.
This is an important and exciting time for us. We are preparing to launch our next strategy for 2025–2030, which will set out how we aim to significantly increase our impact and grow the social investment market further. As Finance Director, you will be central to shaping and delivering this strategy: ensuring our financial planning, reporting, and operations provide a strong foundation for growth, and that we continue to steward capital responsibly and transparently. You will also play a key leadership role, supporting and developing a talented finance team, and working closely with senior colleagues across the organisation.
We are looking for someone who brings strong financial leadership and technical expertise, and who shares our values and passion for social impact. You will be strategic, collaborative, and able to engage effectively with and develop both a wide range of stakeholder relationships and a high-performing, diverse and energetic team.
Better Society Capital offers a mission-driven, inclusive and flexible culture. If you want to use your financial expertise to help tackle some of the UK’s toughest social challenges, and to contribute to building a more sustainable and equitable society, then we would be delighted to hear from you.
We look forward to receiving your application.
Yours sincerely,
Stephen Muers
CEO, Better Society Capital
