This is an exciting opportunity to join a new team that will be designing the financial data collection for the Further Education sector from the ground up, after they were reclassified to central government. This will be one of the largest financial consolidations within the public sector. This role presents a rare opportunity to influence the end to end process around data collection and usage, enabling long term maintainability and value for money.

The role will require strong project and stakeholder management skills and will involve developing an understanding of the needs of the FE sector (over 200 colleges), negotiating on financial data and reporting requirements and implementing changes that will ensure long term viability of the processes among other needs.

The post holder will need to work very closely with data and digital experts in the department, making this a good fit for accountants looking to strengthen their experience in user focussed digital delivery.

We are a friendly division spread across the country, including our Darlington, Coventry, Sheffield, Manchester and London offices. We encourage flexible and cross-site working, so that we make the best of the talent that the Civil Service has across the country. We want to have a diverse team with different backgrounds, personalities and experiences.
