Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time
Finance Manager (Research and Innovation Service)

This role will be based on the University campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

We are seeking a proactive, self-driven individual to work as a key member of the Research and Innovation Service (RIS) team with strong links and collaboration with the Financial Services and Management Accounting teams. You will become the "go to" finance person for RIS colleagues.

You will deliver effective and efficient financial support to RIS, not only in terms of day-to-day preparation and management of financial plans within the service, including university wide research and innovation initiatives, but also in terms of identifying finance process improvements which will enable RIS to operate more efficiently and effectively.

You will take the lead in providing support to budget holders, maintaining an effective accounting structure, with the aim of improving financial reporting across a whole range of diverse activities within RIS. You will provide support to the Commercialisation team within RIS, through financial management of patents and licenses and reporting on the University investment portfolio.

You will have relevant experience in a complex financial environment including the preparation of and monitoring against financial plans, and producing financial management information for non-finance professionals. You will have a knowledge and understanding of the University's financial processes, procedures, and regulations and be able to provide advice accordingly, ensuring day-to-day processes, transactions, and audit requirements are correctly managed within the service.

A key attribute is that you are proactive and able to use your own initiative in carrying out the role, without the need for close supervision.

Please note that this post may be suitable for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa route but first-time applicants might need to qualify for salary concessions.

What we offer in return

  • 26 days holiday plus 16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - that's 42 days a year
  • Generous pension scheme plus life assurance.
  • Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts, and travel schemes are also available.
