ABOUT THE ROLE
The University Finance Office is seeking to appoint a Finance Manager to join the Departmental Services Team (DST), supporting a number of areas of the University across the Professional Services Group. Applications are preferred from candidates seeking full-time positions; part-time applications will be considered.
You will report to the Head of Finance, and you would normally have an Assistant Management Accountant (typically AAT qualified) reporting to you. You will join the Departmental Services Team, which is well-established and a supportive environment in which to build a career at the University. It is primarily engaged in management accounting and Finance business partnering. You will provide accurate and timely management information and analysis to senior University management, Heads of Departments, and other stakeholders to aid planning, control, and decision-making, especially in the deployment of University resources and, to a lesser extent, maximisation of income.
Please note that a £5,000 per annum market supplement (pro-rated and non-pensionable) is available for the successful applicant upon provision of proof of current membership of an approved accounting body and evidence they hold the appropriate accountancy qualifications.
ABOUT YOU
You will have an honours degree or equivalent and will draw on technical expertise gained in obtaining a professional accounting qualification such as ACA, ACCA, or CIMA. You should have broad experience within a finance function (including a working knowledge of tax), be a good communicator, and have experience of working with non-finance professionals. Management experience would be ideal.
With the ability to address problems and identify solutions independently, you will demonstrate the ability to undertake operational aspects of the role such as quarterly reporting, planning & forecasting, and the critical evaluation of new business opportunities. This will necessarily involve modelling & analysis skills using Excel. Candidates should evidence experience of management accounting and finance business partnering, using their up-to-date knowledge of accounting standards and finance systems.
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The University Finance office supports business planning and innovation to maximise the financial resources available to the University and create the long-term sustainable financial platform required for future growth. Finance staff across the University are networked as a professional community of expertise. You will be supported to continue your professional journey through access to Continuing Professional Development training opportunities, sector networks, and regular Finance Office briefings.
As a member of staff at Warwick, you can enjoy a wide range of competitive benefits. The University offers a wide range of learning and development opportunities, and we will work with you to support your career development. We respect and reward achievement and recognise the importance of a flexible total reward package. Take a look at the benefits that are on offer, including an attractive pension scheme, a generous annual leave entitlement (including Christmas closure), family-friendly policies, and discounted Warwick Sport membership.
The role is campus-based; however, staff can opt to work under the Finance Office’s current hybrid policy, where a maximum of 40% of time (2 days per week for full-time staff; normally Tuesdays and Fridays) can be worked remotely. Further details are available on request or at the interview stage.
