Embark on a fulfilling career with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). If you are looking for a workplace that fosters growth, purpose, and a genuine sense of community, you will find a welcoming environment here. Our employees share their experiences, showcasing what it truly means to be part of HMRC.

We are thrilled to announce an opening within the Financial Accreditation Team (FA Team). This dynamic position is ideal for individuals eager to engage in a project-oriented environment while enhancing their understanding of HMRC's tax systems and procedures.

This role is perfect for those who enjoy collaboration, possess confidence, and can effectively express their viewpoints among peers. If you are motivated to make a significant impact by aiding HMRC in implementing changes, we encourage you to consider this opportunity.

In this fast-paced project setting, you will cultivate relationships and offer specialized guidance to facilitate the effective transformation of HMRC's financial systems and processes. Your responsibilities will include defining financial requirements for change initiatives and ensuring their successful execution.

This position plays a crucial role in enabling HMRC to manage financial transactions in alignment with strategic objectives and accounting standards. It presents an exceptional opportunity to enhance your leadership, assurance, and collaborative skills.

Important Note: This vacancy is limited to specified locations; alternative locations are not available.

Your office location is contractual, and if selected, you are expected to work from that office at least 60% of your available working hours.

The successful candidate will be required to remain in their position for a minimum of two years before considering a transfer within the same grade to a different business area. Please take these requirements into account before applying and discuss any concerns with the vacancy holder prior to accepting any role.

Job Responsibilities

You will become part of a supportive and skilled team of accreditors, possessing extensive knowledge of tax and finance accounting systems and processes.

Your role will involve being a key stakeholder for Risk, Controls, and Financial Accounting (RCFA), collaborating with various finance sectors to ensure that change requirements are accurately delivered and tested.

You will be responsible for ensuring that the financial processes implemented by the project are secure, reliable, auditable, and facilitate the accurate production of HMRC accounts.

Successful candidates will participate in a tailored training program that will enable you to:

  • Represent RCFA in a project change environment, advocating for and advancing our requirements.
  • Influence the financial accreditation process as the team adapts to the evolving pace of HMRC change and the delivery of Financial Accreditation.
  • Develop the skills necessary to foster cooperative partnerships with project and program teams to ensure finance requirements are well understood and addressed.

While this is not an accounting position, familiarity with accounting principles and/or accounting systems would be beneficial.

As a department dedicated to continuous professional development, this role will also provide opportunities for you to learn, expand, or further develop your knowledge to help you reach your potential.

Candidate Profile

We are committed to supporting your skill development, enabling you to take ownership and lead the accreditation of several complex and high-risk project changes. You will build a wide network of contacts and engage in diverse subjects that span across HMRC.

We seek individuals who can lead, develop, and introduce the financial requirements to be fulfilled by the project, ensuring that changes to HMRC accounting systems and processes are thoroughly tested and that test evidence is meticulously analyzed.

You will achieve this by:

  • Maintaining engagement with the project team throughout the project change cycle to effectively manage risks and issues, prioritizing your and your team's work to meet critical deadlines.
  • Collaborating with a team of accreditors, subject matter experts, and IT specialists to ensure that requirements are successfully delivered.
  • Coaching and mentoring staff to aid their development and the delivery of accreditation.
  • Providing written project updates and summaries to support senior members on Project Boards or during senior decision-making processes.
  • The role may include HR management responsibilities.

Important: The position may require frequent travel, including overnight stays, sometimes with little notice.

Essential Qualifications:

  • Experience in a project, finance, audit, or assurance role.
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly and concisely.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills.
  • Capability to manage multiple deadlines and conflicting priorities.
  • Ability to analyze information, summarize findings, and use your judgment to make recommendations.

Desirable Qualifications:

  • Experience in a project change environment.
  • Working knowledge of one or more areas of taxation.
  • Good understanding of accounting and project management principles, including desirable qualifications such as:
    • Part/fully qualified accountant (CIMA or equivalent).
    • Part/fully qualified Association of Accounting Technician (AAT).
    • Audit qualification(s).
    • Project Management qualification(s).

Technical Skills Assessment:

During the selection process, candidates will be asked to deliver a 5 to 10-minute presentation on the topic: - Your skills and experience, and how you will add value to this position.

Benefits:

In addition to a competitive salary of £42,618, HMRC contributes £11,506 towards your membership in the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme.

HMRC offers both Flexible and Hybrid Working policies, allowing you to balance your professional and personal commitments.
