This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified finance professional to work in a purpose-driven environment where your insights will support innovative research and help drive impactful decision-making.

About the Role

Reporting to the Head of Finance and working closely with Senior Finance Business Partners, you’ll take a business partnering approach to:

• Monitor financial performance across research projects

  
  

• Ensure compliance with internal policies and external funder requirements

  
  

• Support reporting to a range of stakeholders including funding bodies and auditors

  
  

  You’ll play a central role in ensuring financial integrity, value for money, and data-driven decision-making across the organisation.

  What We’re Looking For

  You’ll be a confident communicator, capable of translating complex financial data into accessible insights for non-finance colleagues.

  To succeed, you’ll also bring:

  • A recognised accountancy qualification (CA, CIMA, ACCA or equivalent)

    
    

  • Proven experience in financial analysis, reporting, and planning within a complex or diverse organisation

    
    

  • Experience working with external auditors and funding bodies

    
    

  • Supervisory or team leadership experience

    
    

  • Experience in public sector, research, charity, or education settings (highly desirable); private sector experience is also welcomed

    
    
    Why Join?

    As well as contributing to meaningful work with public benefit, you’ll enjoy:

    • 25 days holiday (rising to 30 with service) + public holidays

      
      

    • Option to purchase additional leave

      
      

    • 8% employer pension contribution

      
      

    • Flexible and hybrid working arrangements

      
      

    • A supportive, collaborative working culture

      
      

    • And more benefits to be discussed on application

      
      

      Join a values-driven organisation where your financial expertise helps enable world-class research and public service impact.
