Applicants are required to hold a relevant degree, be an experienced accounting technician (AAT) or working towards an accountancy/IT qualification with substantial experience.
Being able to identify problems, quickly propose solutions and act as an enthusiastic ambassador of the Commercial Applications group is an essential requirement, as is attention to detail.
You will require an aptitude for working with applications/systems to undertake analysis, diagnosis and resolution of system problems, which may range from straightforward user issues to more complicated technical issues.
In addition, you will assist in system testing, ensuring controls are in place to maintain the integrity of data, security, and helping to ensure process and system documentation is complete, up to date and accessible.
