Chief Financial Officer Appointment

The Challenge

One Manchester required a Chief Financial Officer to lead the organisation through a period of significant investment and change. Following a substantial asset investment programme and an evolving growth strategy, the new CFO needed to bring strong financial leadership, ensuring robust financial controls, risk management, and a proactive approach to securing new funding. Additionally, with a regulatory inspection on the horizon, the role demanded someone who could provide board-level assurance, drive financial resilience, and support One Manchester’s long-term ambitions.

Our Impact

We successfully placed a high-calibre finance leader with extensive experience in financial governance, treasury management, and organisational transformation. The appointed candidate has a proven track record of securing funding in complex financial environments, restructuring finance teams to enhance business partnering, and embedding a culture of data-driven decision-making. With a focus on balancing strategic investment with financial sustainability, they are well-positioned to lead One Manchester through its next phase of growth while ensuring regulatory compliance and financial stability.

Notably, the successful candidate was a direct referral from Neemar’s community, demonstrating the strength of our network and our commitment to building lasting relationships in the sector.  Through this appointment, One Manchester has gained a dynamic CFO who will drive efficiency, strengthen governance, and support the organisation’s vision for long-term, sustainable growth.
