They will have a clear understanding of the needs of the customer base and the University standard accounting and transaction management processes and will work to provide an effective and efficient service level delivery.
In doing so, they will be expected to work with Directorate professional and technical staff to ensure that purchase to pay, direct entry invoicing, sales invoicing, journal processing and underlying data integrity are delivered in a controlled, effective and efficient manner utilising the appropriate standard University process and systems.

**Main Duties and Responsibilities**
1. Provision of Transaction Services to Directorate.
The role holder will be part of a single team working within the Resource Team and deliver the following services:

- Purchase Order Processing: ensuring that orders are placed through Agresso on a timely basis and are compliant with all internal regulations, including Procurement requirements, budgetary checks and VAT checks.
- Communication with internal customers to ensure that they are aware of the status of their orders.
- Ensure GRN processing is properly carried by end users in relation to the orders and that automatic matching of supplier invoices can take place through the central University AP function.
- Providing a single point of contact to users to support purchasing queries including outstanding orders, price queries, back orders and tracking of order numbers.

- Assist in the production of this information as required.
2. Provision of High Levels of Customer Service.
An essential element of the success of the Resource Team is that end users (technical and professional staff) receive a high level of customer service, that their requests are dealt with promptly and that they have a named, accountable individual within the team dealing with their request.
The role holder is expected to work within the Team to deliver on this objective. Specifically they will be the named, primary accountable contact for a particular function of the team.
While the Team will be centrally located, it is likely that end users may require face to face contact in order to support their requests. The role holder will be expected to travel between the University’s campuses in order to facilitate this.
