Are you looking for a new challenge? Do you have experience of working in a fast-paced and complex financial environment? Are you able to work independently, to tight timescales, delivering a professional and supportive finance partnering service to a wide range of stakeholders?
We are looking for a proactive, self-motivated individual to work as a key member of our Finance Team. You will assist in the delivery of effective and efficient financial support across the Library Service. This is a vital role in which you will be expected to directly influence, manage, and report on the Library’s planning, processes and overall financial position. In a changing organisation you will be involved in supporting the budget holders and colleagues across the Libraries.
You will have relevant experience in a financial environment including the preparation of and monitoring against financial plans. You will also bring with you experience of producing financial management information for non-finance professionals.

In this role you will report directly to the Senior Finance Business Partner but will also work closely with other financial and management accounting colleagues and other non-finance professionals from across the University.
