Finance Officer

Finance Officer

We are looking for a Finance Officer to join the finance team in Welsh School of Architecture.

In this role, you will:

Operate all School finance procedures effectively and ensure compliance with the University’s Financial Regulations and procedures.

Provide detailed advice and guidance on a range of comprehensive finance services processes and procedures to internal and external customers (staff, students or members of the public), using judgement and creativity to suggest the most appropriate course of action, and contributing to the solving of more complex issues.

Support the Finance team, School Manager and Head of School with the financial management of the school.

We’d like to hear from you if you have:

• Specialist knowledge of financial processes and procedures.
• An ability to communicate specialist and complex information effectively and professionally to a range of customers with varying levels of understanding. 
• An ability to work unsupervised to deadlines, planning, setting and monitoring your priorities and those of the team.

We can offer you the chance to work in a vibrant organisation, with great benefits and opportunities for progression. We are a proud Living Wage supporter.

This role is eligible to be offered on a blended working basis, meaning that as well as spending time working on campus you may spend some time working from another location, e.g. your home. The University is committed to offering this flexibility, wherever the role and business need allows, supporting work-life balance.

This is an exciting time to be joining Cardiff University in a finance role as we are transforming how and where we provide our finance services. This includes the creation of a Finance Services Unit which will bring together all operational Finance services across the University into one unit. The post incorporates operational finance work and therefore the location and reporting arrangements are likely to be subject to change once the Finance Services Unit has been fully established.

Please contact Samantha Johnson (JohnsonS18@cardiff.ac.uk) or Richard Lewis (lewisr2@cardiff.ac.uk) for an informal, confidential discussion about the role.

Please be aware that Cardiff University reserves the right to close this vacancy early should sufficient applications be received.

Cardiff University is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity and to creating an inclusive working environment. We believe this can be achieved through attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse range of staff from many different backgrounds who have the ambition to create a University which seeks to fulfil our social, cultural and economic obligation to Cardiff, Wales, and the world.  In supporting our employees to achieve a balance between their work and their personal lives, we will also consider proposals for flexible working or job share arrangements.
