We are a dynamic organisation dedicated to advancing standards of dance education and teaching. We promote and invest in the development of dance worldwide. Based in Battersea, London, we have a presence in 84 countries, with offices in 36 and over 14,000 members around the world.  Established in 1920, the Academy received its Royal Charter in 1935, is governed by a Board of Trustees and has an annual global turnover of over £20 million.

​

Next year we will be celebrating our centenary, and in 2021 moving to a brand new purpose built headquarters within a mile of our current home.  We will have much improved facilities for our staff, our students and our members in a state of the art building, which we believe will be an inspiring environment in which to work.

​

If you join the Academy as Head of Finance now, you would certainly be joining at an exciting time, as we devise our business strategy for the next 5 to 10 years. You will lead the Finance team in ensuring delivery of management and statutory reporting and analysis for our international group, as well as managing core operations for the UK. You will be a role model and subject matter expert on all finance matters providing advice and guidance across all levels of the organisation internationally.

​

Over the five years I have been here, we have reshaped our Finance team and processes to reduce transaction processing and produce faster and more insightful reporting. We are now well-positioned to build on this in the coming years. 

​

If you feel you would like to play a significant part in taking the Academy forward, please do find out more from Allen Lane and think seriously about making an application.

​

We look forward to hearing from you.

Director of Finance and Operations
