We are looking for a skilled and forward‐thinking Finance Manager to provide high‐quality financial management and to strengthen our financial systems and processes that support our leaders, teams and long‐term sustainability. We are a charity that helps make walking and wheeling a part of everyday life. Our programmes connect communities and inspire positive behaviour change. We work with partners and local communities to reduce barriers. By focusing on walking and wheeling, we are helping to solve some of Scotland's biggest challenges, from health inequalities to the climate-nature emergency.

The finance team plays a critical role in supporting the organisation to deliver its strategic ambitions, ensuring strong financial stewardship, robust reporting, and effective decision-making. This role is key to the ongoing development of the finance function as the charity continues to evolve and grow.

Working closely with the Head of Finance and Corporate Services and budget holders across the organisation, you will act as a trusted business partner, providing financial insight and guidance to support decision-making. You will lead on budget holder reporting and review meetings, support audit processes, and contribute to the development of financial policies, procedures, and a cost-effective procurement approach.
