Our vision is ‘Tennis Opened Up’, and our mission is to transform communities through tennis, focusing on three areas – making tennis welcoming, enjoyable and inspiring to everyone.

Tennis is a sport that is woven into the fabric of the nation, and as the national governing body the LTA is at the heart of that – from inspiring and engaging the millions of passionate fans who follow leading British players and world class tournaments, through to supporting the grassroots of the sport which reach into local communities across Britain to help get the nation active and deliver amazing physical and mental health benefits to those involved.

The LTA aspires to achieve its vision of ‘tennis opened up’, and through its work to make tennis relevant, accessible, welcoming and enjoyable, help us to ensure it is a sport that can be played by anyone, no matter their age, gender, background or ability.

The role of the Finance Department is to ensure the business prioritises its spending on the best projects and programmes to the benefit of our customers, whether that be elite players or kids playing their first game of mini-tennis.

The Finance Manager position itself is one of two roles that reports directly to the Head of Group Finance.

This position will have a broad range of accountabilities including but not limited to external audit management, leading on the annual report, production and oversight of statutory reporting and consolidation, monitoring of financial and regulatory compliance, investment and audit committee support, being the LTA tax lead, liaising with external advisors and consultants, and providing ad hoc project support. This list is not exhaustive and will evolve over time. The Finance Manager will also play a key role in pro-actively identifying opportunities for, and driving the continuous development of, the Finance function through various projects and initiatives.

In respect of the output of this role, you will secure buy-in across multiple internal and external stakeholder groups including the Executive and Leadership Teams through your influencing skills, routinely measure against these benchmarks, forecasts, and prior year comparisons, and seek to issue reports and maintain files that are consistently accurate. You will develop risk management strategies, taking pride in being able to not only understand the “what” but also the “why”. You will be a storyteller able to simplify the complex when communicating to senior audiences including members of the LTA Board, the LTA Audit Committee, and the trustees of the LTA Tennis Foundation.
