Summary
Following on from the Machinery of Government change in 2023, we are transforming our finance function and operating model to best support the high-profile and often complex work of our department.
We are recruiting for two Deputy Directors for Finance Business Partnering who will lead teams that work across the department and its Partner Organisations to support DBT’s ambitious agenda. We build relationships and work in partnership with policy and delivery colleagues as well as other key stakeholders in corporate services, to provide a seamless end-to-end service.

- Provide expert financial advice that increases the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of DBT's policies and programmes, influencing decision making and protecting our Accounting Officer.
- Champion the importance of value for money and strong financial management, ensuring robust stewardship of, and accounting for, public money, underpinned by effective planning, risk management and internal controls
- Lead and motivate a diverse team of finance professionals while playing a positive and active role in the leadership and development of the Finance Directorate
