Research Finance Manager



This is an exciting opportunity to join our Research Accounts team as a Research Finance Manager.



The University of Oxford is a stimulating work environment, which enjoys an international reputation as a world-class centre of excellence. Our research plays a key role in tackling many global challenges, from reducing our carbon emissions to developing vaccines during a pandemic.



The Finance Division supports the academic, research and administrative community at the University providing sound financial advice and timely information with a range of support services including financial operations, financial reporting, financial support and professional services.



What We Offer



As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:



• An excellent contributory pension scheme

• 38 days annual leave

• A comprehensive range of childcare services

• Family leave schemes

• Cycle loan scheme

• Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans

• Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs

• A welcoming and diverse community



About the Role



The set-up of awards on the University’s finance system, and funder claims, statements, and invoicing for all of the University’s research are managed by the Research Accounts team.



Reporting to the Operations Manager, the four Research Finance Managers work together to ensure that financial best practice is embedded across the Research Accounts team, in the areas of claims and billing, the set-up and reconciliation of all research awards on Oracle Financials, and adherence to funder terms and conditions.



You will work closely with staff in academic departments, funder organisations and the University’s Research Services team to ensure that all research accounting matters are dealt with in a professional and controlled way, and provide follow-on support to departmental staff as necessary once they have received initial training on the Oracle projects module.



We welcome applications from all sections of the community.



You will be based in Hythe Bridge Street but you may be able to agree a pattern of regular remote working with your line manager.



About You



You will have experience of working in a complex financial administration function in a customer focused environment. Alongside this, you should have a high level of analytical capability.



You will have experience of managing staff or evidence of the skills required to do so and be an effective team worker.



Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to manage a wide caseload of projects and adhere to deadlines are also required.



Application Process



You will be required to upload a supporting statement, CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.



The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Monday 22nd July
