Enterprise Finance Coordinator

SOAS University of London is the leading Higher Education institution in Europe specialising in the study of Asia, Africa and the Near and Middle East. SOAS University of London is positioned to play a leading role in reimagining higher education globally, with a new strategic plan in place as the basis for the renewal and revitalisation of the School which commits SOAS to both student responsiveness and research intensity. SOAS is moving towards a new model of international partnerships which is responsive to the transnational character of our global challenges.

About the Role

We're looking for an Enterprise Finance Coordinator to join our Knowledge Exchange, Enterprise & Impact team. This is a varied, hands-on role supporting the financial and operational delivery of a broad portfolio of knowledge exchange projects — including consultancy, executive education, diplomatic briefings, and CPD programmes.

You'll work closely with Principal Investigators, Finance and HR colleagues, and external partners to keep projects running smoothly. That means managing project finances, raising purchase orders, reviewing expenses, and making sure everything stays compliant with SOAS policies and funder requirements. You'll also play an active role in improving systems and processes as the team's remit continues to grow.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, likes getting things right, and wants to develop their expertise in KE finance within a genuinely distinctive institution.
