Finance Director (Edinburgh International Book Festival)
Posted on: 29th May, 2026. Closing date: 29th June, 2026
Apply by 5pm on 29 Jun for this full‐time, permanent role based in Edinburgh.
This is a newly created role, with responsibility for financial management owned previously by the Executive Director, supported by the Head of Finance & Operations. In the refreshed structure operational and finance functions are separated.
The purpose of this role is to ensure the organisation is financially sustainable, well‐governed, and able to deliver its mission effectively. You will lead the financial management of the organisation, ensuring robust financial control, high‐quality reporting, and effective financial planning to support strategic decision‐making and long‐term sustainability. This is a hands‐on, collaborative role in a busy team, spanning both strategic and operational finance.
Being a success in this role will essentially balance three things at the same time:
Financial stability, control and risk management
Artistic and charitable ambition
Long‐term organisational resilience and sustainable growth
