Are you a skilled Project Accountant with a passion for heritage? Join us at the Royal Air Force Museum—a national museum dedicated to sharing the story of the Royal Air Force: past, present, and future.

With two public sites (London and Midlands) and a stored collection (Stafford), we engage and inspire audiences through the stories of our people and our remarkable collection. As a National Museum, we are supported by Government Grant in Aid, along with active fundraising and trading.

The Royal Air Force Museum is a Carbon Literate organisation and as such promotes Carbon Literacy.

We're looking for an experienced Project Accountant to join our team at a pivotal moment, as we deliver the £28 million "Inspiring Everyone: RAF Museum Development Programme", supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF).

About the Role:
You’ll play a critical role in the financial delivery of our Midlands Development Programme—ensuring robust financial reporting, accurate forecasting, and full compliance with NLHF requirements.

Key responsibilities:
• Lead financial reporting, monitoring, and forecasting for the £28M capital project
• Ensure compliance with NLHF financial guidelines and documentation
• Work closely with the Project Manager, internal finance teams, and stakeholders
• Provide timely updates and analysis to support effective decision-making
• Contribute to the success of a landmark transformation in the Museum’s history

The role is based at our Midlands site but will involve collaboration across all three Museum locations.
  Required Skills / Qualifications
• Professional accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent); part-qualified or qualified by experience.
• Proficient in Excel.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office suite.
• Strong financial reporting and budgeting skills
