As Head of Finance Business Partnering, you will act as the strategic finance lead for a major business portfolio, influencing investment decisions, financial planning, risk management and performance improvement. You will work closely with executive leaders, budget holders, programme SROs, strategic finance colleagues and enabling services including Commercial, HR and Met Business Services. This is a senior partnering role requiring commercial judgement, technical credibility and the ability to translate complex financial information into clear, actionable insight for non-finance leaders.

The ability to operate effectively with ambiguity, competing priorities and changing organisational demands will be important, as will a track record of shaping strategy and influencing executive-level decisions. This role will suit someone who is collaborative, resilient and values-led. You will understand the importance of strong financial control, but you will also recognise that effective finance business partnering is about more than reporting numbers. Why join the Metropolitan Police Service? This is a rare opportunity to use your finance expertise in a role with tangible public value. The Met’s work directly affects the safety, confidence and wellbeing of London’s communities, and this role will help ensure that public resources are planned, governed and deployed effectively.
