About the Role

The Position

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Financial Controller to play a pivotal role in ensuring the company's financial health and compliance with all relevant standards and regulations. As a key member of the UKIFS Finance Team, you will be responsible for delivering a robust financial control framework and accurate financial reporting as UKIFS transitions to a company with increasingly complex financial processes and transactions.

You will support the Finance Director in the financial transformation to a registered company that leads a complex major programme with large delivery partners from industry. Building a company within fusion is new to the UK, and whilst this is an exciting challenge, you will need to be comfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity as we build UKIFS Ltd. and its team. The role will be helping to lead the establishment of a major programme and limited company at its foundation stage. You'll have the opportunity to build a team, set strategies and design and embed new procedures and processes as the company develops.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build and lead an effective financial control team through hiring, coaching and development, providing leadership, guidance, mentorship and support.
  • Develop and implement robust internal controls to safeguard company assets and ensure the accuracy of financial records.
  • Ensure the responsible use of public funds across the company.
  • Lead on the production of the UKIFS annual report and accounts, and financial reporting to our Shareholder and to government, managing internal audit and external audit processes and ensuring that reporting meets relevant standards with statutory law and financial regulations.
  • Establish strong relationships with senior stakeholders both internally and externally, in particular with UKAEA Group finance, the UKIFS Audit and Risk Committee, internal and external auditors, industry Partners, and senior UKIFS staff.
  • Provide technical accounting advice to the business on application of accounting standards and any budgeting implications of complex transactions.
  • Senior service delivery owner in UKIFS Finance for the Corporate Services agreement with our parent, UKAEA.
Requirements

Essential Requirements:

  • Qualified accountant, with significant post qualification experience in senior leadership as a Financial Controller or similar role.
  • Public Sector Finance Knowledge: Familiarity with the specific regulations processes and governance frameworks applicable to public sector organisations in the UK.
  • Excellent technical accounting skills gained in a complex organisation of significant size and responsibilities, with an in-depth understanding of financial statements, reporting standards, compliance requirements, and internal and external audit processes.
  • Strong financial risk management experience involving identifying and assessing financial risks, implementing risk mitigation strategies, and maintaining an effective control environment in an organisation.
  • Effective communications skills with ability to analyse, interpret and communicate complex data to a wide audience outside of the finance function including key senior stakeholders such as the Audit Committee and the Board, and inspire confidence in taking relevant stakeholders methodically through complex financial information.
  • Excellent leadership skills with the ability to build inspire and motivate finance teams.
Additional Information

We welcome applications from under-represented groups, particularly individuals from black and other ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities, and women. Our Executive team, supported by our 'Equality, Diversity and Inclusion' (EDI) Partner and Inclusion Ambassadors, actively promotes EDI and takes steps to increase diversity within our organization.
