We’re looking for an innovative and forward-thinking leader to shape the next stage of development for our Finance Systems Team. This is not a traditional finance role. Whilst an understanding of financial management is important, we’re looking for someone who is equally passionate about data, reporting, analytics, technology and business improvement. Working across Finance services, you’ll help colleagues make better use of systems, data and reporting to improve decision making, increase automation and deliver better outcomes.

Key areas of focus will include:

• Automating data extraction


• Developing and enhancing Power BI reporting and dashboards


• Supporting business improvement and transformation activity

We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate a track record of driving improvement through:

• Data transformation, modelling and visualisation


• Developing Power BI reports and dashboards


• Leading, developing and supporting colleagues in the use of data and information

This is a hybrid role with a minimum expectation currently of two days per week in the office, alongside flexible home working arrangements.

Equal Opportunities We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race (including colour, nationality, and ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and able to thrive.

If you require any adjustments to the recruitment process to support your application, please let us know, and we will work with you to meet your needs.

The RESPECT Allyship Programme is available to all staff, which offers the opportunity to learn more about the diverse communities & groups and provides added benefits and resources to its members.
