4 days ago

Lincoln, United Kingdom Lincolnshire County Council Full time

You will be joining our team as we launch our new workforce strategy, a strategy which puts our people at the heart of our service.  We are creating a learning environment which encourages continuous personal and professional development.  This will ensure we have the right people with the right skills to support the Council to move forward in the challenging financial climate.

The Role

This role is responsible for identifying and co-ordinating improvements to the council’s corporate financial system and ensuring all systems and processes involved in managing income and expenditure are efficient, effective, and compliant.

The successful candidate will develop financial reporting functionality to enable the provision of robust, consistent, and timely financial data to support decision making. This role will support services and third parties to deliver financial compliance.

This role will be expected to review current processes to ensure impact and outcomes are maximised. The role will be expected to influence business outcomes, offering analysis and interpretation, presenting options to resolve problems and exploit opportunities.

Through use of influencing skills, and the provision of evidence based financial advice and guidance, this role will contribute to the delivery of services within the financial resource available. This will in turn help the Council to continue to make the best use of resources resulting in the delivery of the best outcomes for the people and place of Lincolnshire.

As Finance Systems and Processes Manager, you will be part of the extended Financial Services leadership team.  As such you will support the implementation of the workforce strategy ensuring development of a structure which encourages professional development and provides opportunities to improve skills to meet the needs of the service.

The Candidate

To succeed in this role, you will have a blend of technical and people skills. Experience with Unit 4 and other financial systems is desirable but not essential. You see the value in the business intelligence you provide and inspire others to make use of it. Your ability to listen, interpret, influence, and challenge respectfully means that colleagues see you as trusted partner and involve you in supporting them to drive their services forward.

You will have the opportunity to contribute to a team which has a broad remit and seeks to increase the impact of its work. You will share our values and directly contribute to the continuous development of Lincolnshire County Council’s ‘working for a better future’ vision.

You will be able to think innovatively and show enthusiasm for contributing to new ways of working. You will also have the skill and flexibility to operate at a fast pace and overcome challenges readily, positively, and collaboratively. It is vital that you embrace change and can see the benefits of doing things differently to improve outcomes.

Location

The team work on a hybrid basis, with part of the week spent connecting in the office and part of the week home based. This role would be expected to work within these arrangements.
