**Job summary**:
**Job Summary**

The main purpose of the role is to undertake financial analysis based on complex data supplied by the regulated providers, information available about them in the public domain and the general knowledge regarding macroeconomic conditions in which the providers operate, to make judgements on their financial strength.

This analysis is key in supporting the OfS’s regulatory decisions, so the postholder will write evidence-based assessments that are intelligible for non-experts, and deliver crucial financial insight and recommendations to decision-makers. The role therefore requires engagement with internal stakeholders, but it also involves interactions with external stakeholders, when necessary to support the decision making. In addition the role will provide an opportunity to input into improving the systems and processes that deliver services to providers.

**Job description**:
**The Key person attributes to fulfil this role are**:

- Qualified or part-qualified accountant (or equivalent finance background)
- Ability to communicate complex financial issues effectively, orally and in writing
- Ability to understand, interpret and identify risks in financial performance in diverse types of organisations
- Ability to reach and convey reliable and challenge-proof judgements to non-specialists on the basis of complex and imperfect information
- Ability to work with high levels of complexity and ambiguity
- Experience and expertise in financial analysis is desirable
- Experience of higher education sector or in another regulatory role is desirable
- Ability to work collaboratively and flexibly in a complex environment to deliver the team’s functions
