Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom UK Civil Service Full time

Position Overview

Are you seeking a chance to advance your career within a governmental framework? Do you possess the ability to adapt and respond effectively to evolving circumstances?

This role presents an exciting opportunity to become a part of the Financial Management and Reporting division as a Senior Financial Operations Manager, where you will play a pivotal role in executing key financial reporting tasks and supporting the implementation of a new corporate shared services framework.

The Finance division within the UK Civil Service collaborates with various policy departments and public entities to ensure the achievement of value-for-money results.

Our team operates under the Financial Management Directorate, which offers sound advice to senior officials and ministers across the public sector, facilitating effective resource allocation and management.

We provide a spectrum of financial management, compliance, and strategic functions to uphold and enhance the UK Civil Service's reputation for effective governance, prudent fiscal oversight, and value for money, managing over £50 billion in public expenditure while fulfilling numerous compliance and reporting obligations.

In this role, you will lead the ongoing enhancement of the team as it adapts to leverage the advantages of the new shared services system, set to launch in the near future.

The nature of this position necessitates a flexible and adaptable mindset in managing tasks and projects, collaborating with colleagues across the team, division, directorate, and the broader UK Civil Service community.

You will oversee budget monitoring for specific sectors within the UK Civil Service and generate monthly financial reports that empower senior officials to make informed decisions based on timely and high-quality financial data. Effective communication and stakeholder engagement are crucial, as Finance Teams serve as the bridge between operational areas and the broader Corporate Reporting Division.

As a leader of a Finance Team, you will be supported by Assistant Finance Managers and will report to a Senior Finance Manager.

Join an innovative and forward-thinking division committed to applying global best practices while fostering the professional growth of all staff members.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure the timely and precise completion of budget monitoring and reporting tasks, providing management with reliable information and insights to facilitate informed decision-making.

• Deliver high-quality monthly financial reports to senior officials, influencing and challenging budget-holders to support informed choices.

• Provide regular, high-quality financial information and analysis, utilizing your knowledge of local business and policy matters to challenge business returns and offer expert advice to address underlying issues.

• Lead the Finance Team through transitions, overseeing its operations to ensure successful execution of monthly and ad-hoc financial tasks while driving efficiencies from the new system.

• Offer financial guidance and support to stakeholders, fostering and maintaining effective working relationships with operational areas.

• Ensure the completion and quality assurance of inputs for the annual accounts in line with corporate timelines, maintaining comprehensive audit trails and accessible documentation during audits.

• Collaborate with colleagues across the Financial Management Directorate, operational areas, and external bodies to effectively deliver corporate financial initiatives.
