Our Harlow Finance Team is a key enabler to supporting the whole organisation to deliver its really ambitious growth programme, at the same time as delivering quality services to our residents. Balancing the finances between critical services and growth needs exceptional financial skills and knowledge which we are hoping to find in the appointment of four finance business partners. These professionals will be responsible for working with the organisation to develop new systems and processes as Harlow pivots towards delivering its huge growth programme alongside excellent services. We are looking for exceptional financial specialists for corporate finance, housing and general fund services who will be able to work collaboratively together and with the organisation.
Harlow is one of the UK’s fastest growing areas in the heart of the UK Innovation Corridor and successful Enterprise Zone with over £1.3bn of infrastructure and regeneration identified and being delivered through our transformative programme of change Building Harlow's Future. The Council is landlord to 9,000 properties through the HRA with a house building programme that will see an additional 23,000 properties coming into the portfolio over the next 10 year. It is a great place to live and work, being ideally located on the London Liverpool Street to Stansted/Cambridge rail line, and only four miles from the M25. Whilst LGR may be going on in the background, Harlow is a confident and forward looking authority that will continue to play an anchor role in any future of the area. The next couple of years will provide enormous opportunities for personal growth and experience which will mean that our Harlow officers are very well placed for any future roles.
