Join to apply for the Director of Finance role at Wales Pension Partnership (WPP) Partneriaeth Pensiwn Cymru

Roles: Director of Finance (Executive Director, SMF3)

Company: Wales Pension Partnership Investment Management Company (WPP IM Co)

Salary: £125,000 per annum + bonus + generous pension + benefits | Wales / Hybrid

WPP IM Co is being established as an FCA-regulated investment management company to serve the eight Welsh Local Government Pension Scheme funds, managing more than £25 billion for 412,000 members. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help shape a permanent, world-class investment institution for Wales and to design and lead the investment capability of a new, regulated company at the heart of UKLGPS reform.

With Government backing, and authorisation targeted for March 2026, WPP IM Co will operate to global standards with a Welsh purpose - combining professional excellence with a clear public mandate. Over time, WPP IM Co will help channel long-term pension capital into clean energy, affordable housing, innovation and other investments that strengthen Wales and the UK - demonstrating how responsible investment can serve members and the communities they live in.

The organisation is now seeking its first ever Director of Finance to serve as Executive Director and hold FCA Senior Management Function (SMF3) approval on authorisation. Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the Audit & Risk Committee Chair and Director of Financial Risk, the Director of Finance will lead financial management, planning and control across the company - establishing robust frameworks that ensure transparency, prudence and accountability in a regulated environment.

You will join a compact, high-calibre executive team and play a pivotal role through mobilisation, authorisation and launch, building the financial systems, reporting and governance that will underpin a £25 billion organisation with a public purpose.

You may already be a Finance Director in an FCA-regulated setting or a senior finance professional ready to take that next step. You will bring a strong command of financial-control frameworks, statutory and prudential reporting, and audit oversight. A qualified accountant (CIPFA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), you will also bring experience designing or overseeing MIFIDPRU, ICAAP or liquidity-management frameworks.

Experience within the LGPS or public sector is not required. Welsh connectivity or experience would be advantageous but is not essential. Welsh language proficiency is also not essential but would be an advantage.
