Summary
Finance and Office Manager
The ground-breaking Media Cymru programme is supercharging Cardiff Capital Region’s thriving media sector and developing a global hub for media innovation.
Since 2022, Media Cymru has been working with more than 100 SMEs to drive inclusive, sustainable economic growth through a range of targeted activities. This will establish the Cardiff Capital Region as a global centre for environmentally sustainable and inclusive media innovation. Across five years, we will increase small businesses’ capacity for innovation, invest in digital infrastructure, respond to emerging technologies and address skills needs for the future.
A series of industry-led challenge areas including sustainability, bilingual production, diversity and inclusion, tourism and technology will position the region as a test bed for new content, approaches and formats.
We will achieve this change by working with the cluster to develop new research and development (R&D) facilities and partnerships, which will connect regional and national partners in media production and post-production, technology, universities and national, devolved, regional and local government. This will pioneer new digital formats, practices, content and technologies, in both the media sector and across the Welsh economy.
Led by Cardiff University, Media Cymru brings together 22 media production, broadcast, technology, university and local leadership partners for the first time. The £50m programme is funded through UKRI’s flagship Strength in Places Fund, Cardiff Capital Region, Creative Wales, industry and university partners.
The role will be responsible for the daily activity and delivery of Media Cymru’s finance and administration systems, processes, monitoring and reporting ensuring that partners and programme users receive a high level of service.
The role holder will also be responsible for ensuring the efficient functioning of the Media Cymru office through a range of administrative, financial and managerial tasks.
This post is full time (35 hours per week) and fixed-term to 31 December 2026.
Salary: £33,482 - £36,130 per annum (Grade 5)
