What you will be doing
Reporting directly to the Manager, Forecasting and Expenditure, the role is a fantastic opportunity for finance specialists to leverage existing experience with procurement processes, budget management and costing systems and apply them to what is (let's be honest) a highly regulated environment.
The role also provides advice and administrative support to the branch leadership team which diversifies the responsibility areas and presents a multitude of ways to collaborate with and support stakeholders and the broader team.
We see the person in this role taking ownership of it, working closely with other specialist peers and managers and being able to not only maintain existing frameworks but be directly involved in establishing new ones.
Some of the key day to day work and responsibility areas are below and if these are areas you have experience and confidence in we'd love to see your application:
