This vacancy may also be offered as a secondment opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity to join our Research Accounts team as a Research Finance Advisor.
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 one of the Research Finance Managers, this role is responsible for its own portfolio of academic departments and will act as the prime point of contact. The role will provide support in the post award administration of projects, looking after the claims, financial statements, and invoicing for several hundred externally-funded research projects. This role works 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.
Research Accounts is a very busy, customer-focused, and deadline driven team, so you will need to demonstrate high levels of personal effectiveness, an ability to communicate clearly, and a flexible, can-do attitude.
The University has a world-class research base and the Research Accounts team provides front-line support for the 120 Research-active departments holding over 5,000 research projects. Research Income in 2018-19 was £625million.
The successful candidate will have experience of working in a complex financial administration function in a customer focused environment. The post holder will have evidence of high numeracy (ideally grade A, or equivalent, GCSE Mathematics) and the ability to work to deadlines while managing a wide caseload of projects and academic departments. You should also possess strong interpersonal skills and work well as part of a team.
The Finance Division employs approximately 200 staff, most of whom are based at Hythe Bridge Street, just a short walk into central Oxford.
Only applications received before 12:00 noon on Friday 3 September 2021 can be considered.
