Salary Starting from £46,485, rising to £55,295
Join a team of experienced accountants and accounting technicians, who provide reporting, budgeting and forecasting information to both the Academic and Professional Service departments and to external funding and regulatory bodies.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to develop expert knowledge of course costing and TRAC (Transparent Approach to Costing). TRAC is a costing methodology specific to the Higher Education Sector. We have also developed course costing information from the TRAC data, which is of growing importance to the University.
The main responsibilities include:
* Managing the full TRAC process, liaising with colleagues across the university to collate the relevant data
* Ensuring our process complies with the latest TRAC requirements
* Producing course costing information and updating the dashboard (Power BI)
* Assisting members of the team and academic colleagues with understanding course costing results
* Preparing and presenting reports for senior management
About you
As a fully qualified professional with an accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent), this role will ideally suit someone who enjoys working with data and analysis and is able to interpret the reasons underlying the results.
Experience of costing and an interest in the Higher Education sector and how Universities are funded is desirable. The ability to take ownership of the process, use judgment, and communicate complex information is essential. Confidence in learning to use new and different systems will also be important in this role, although support and training will be provided.
Further information

While the exact days you can work remotely will differ between teams and departments, it should provide you with greater flexibility, provided you are in the UK.
