Director of Finance

This role is being recruited externally. Please click the below for more information on how you can apply.

The Archdiocese of Liverpool is seeking a Director of Finance to lead our finance function through the next stage of transformation.

This is a pivotal and high-profile role with real influence across strategic, operational, and pastoral planning, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer and working closely with the Archbishop and senior leadership.

This is not a routine finance leadership post. It calls for someone with strategic insight, emotional intelligence, and a deep sense of purpose. You’ll bring both technical rigour and human warmth, able to modernise systems, engage with complexity and help shape a sustainable future for the Church’s mission.

Whether you come from a commercial or charity background, this is an opportunity to use your skills for genuine societal impact. You’ll find a committed team, strong foundations and a chance to make a meaningful difference, not just to finance, but to people and communities.
